  must be doing well + being well looked after.

  Yes Sweetheart I think we are both very

  proud of our Boy. I wish I were with

  you both, but I am thankful that Kenneth

  is with you to cheer + comfort you.

  Manson has not got back from his

  course. He is in hospital somewhere

  + will perhaps roll up some day. Knox is

  still going strong. I said ta kindly

  for all the good things I received last

  night in the note I sent I believe. It is

  very good of Flo. Annie's 8 hens seem to

  have done very well - think I had better

  borrow a couple. Yes I am still keeping

  fit & well beloved. I don't think there

  is anything I want sending just yet - will

  let you know as soon as there is.

  Fancy Kenneth being so grown up as to

  want to be dressed at 7:30 am. There was

  a strong rumour last night that our training

  period (which was a promised rest period)

  would finish before the end of the week & that

  we should find ourselves in the line again

   right side  

  I think rumour will prove to be true this

  time. The change has done us all good but 

  I could wish it had been for a longer period.

  There is a possibility of a certain amount of

  leave being allotted to the Division shortly

  but there will only be a very small number &

  it will take a long time to get round. Still

  while there's leave there's hope Lassie. The

  parade is put off until to-morrow so I might

  have had longer in bed had I known earlier.

  We shall be busy giving lectures shortly.

  I have been round the company & to HdQrs - there

  is still nothing but rumour. Well Darling I 

  wish I were at home with you. It seems many 

  ages since we were together - years & years in

  some ways. How would you like to be

  starting off for Sandsend or Musker once

  more. Kenneth must be growing a fine Laddie

  - grown almost out of knowledge I should say.

  Wonder what he will think of his Daddy when

  I get back. He must interest you most

  of the day. I am glad he is so good & 

  cheerful - doing his duty nobly during the great
