WW1 Letter and offences

[liverpoolgenealogy]

Hi,

Can anyone help me read this letter, and the offences listed in the other two images please. These records are for Edward Hindley.

I think the letter is something to do with the death of his son Martin, his name appears in the letter, and its dated the day after his death, but it is in such a poor state, I'm not sure if reading it will be possible at all.

In the second image, I think it says that he overstayed his leave, and was punished with "5 days" but I don't know what that would refer to?  Does anyone know, or would this be better off in the army section?

I can't make out all of the details about his second offence, but it looks like the punishment was the same.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

The letter is addressed to the Secretary for War, requesting reimbursement of 2/7 (two shillings and seven pence) being the cost of obtaining the death certificate for son Martin.

The second offence is "improperly dressed"
