  me out the Saturday Westminster so I shall be alright in future

  for reading matter.

  Friday
  

  I commenced this yesterday but could not finish it. There are a

  hundred and one things to do in rest billets even - and it is surprising

  how little time one gets to oneself. I must write home today so please

  forgive this brief letter, you will of course see my letter home. I was 

  not comfortable enough to write letters when up in the trenches so a card or

  two had to suffice. Letter writing I find has to be left mostly until

  we get into billets. We spent exactly half of last month in the 

  trenches. Will write again as soon as I get level with other letters

  Much love to you both. Hope you are well and getting on at

  Bowers Park.

  Yours affectionately

  George 

  I am feeling absolutely fit after this bit of rest
