  My Dear Jim

           I dare say you will think it is funny to see

  that I am still here. I have been on the list to go to England

  since Monday last- but no boat has left here since

  I mean no hospital ship  ... There is some reason for

  not sailing them- I believe they are making some alterations

  + changes as things were not perfectly safe. I dont believe I 

  shall leave this for about 5 days now. I am not quite all right

  yet my face being still pretty sore but another few days will I'm

  sure fix up matters. Then if the boat is not running there is first

  an off chance that instead of being sent to Blighty I may  have to

  go to some place here in France for change of air They often send

  chaps to Nice + the South of France to  recuperate. But I hope I'll

  get home  all the same.

            Have you had any news of Christy. I don't suppose he

  knows where I am He might you know be within reach of

  here + I would like very much to see him. No letters that gen were

  sent to me before I came here have reached me yet. So far yours

   ...  the papers + one from the less complete  my list - I am

  hoping to get the others. By the way should any letters for

  me get home. Keep them till I get ask for them. I gave home

  as my address + expect that a letter or  two may get there
