  from what one or two good swimmers

  have told me. That's why I always took

  care. What times we used to have there

  on those Saturday afternoons when I

  caught the early train, lassie. Do you

  remember those steep little dells on

  the path along the cliff top (ahem!!)

  Yes, perhaps Kitty takes the stand

  she does because she knows that, if

  she gave way at all, Dick would surely

  exult + throw it in her teeth. Still, thank

  Heaven, we are not that way, because

  they'll surely come a cropper unless

  there's a change. But then - there's

  no comparison, is there girl-o'-mine?

  Still, as you say, you are wise to keep

  mum. Poor Charlie Bailey! It made

  me roar when I read it. Every morning

  when we get up (from 6 to 6.30 am)

  I see one or two flocks of curlews flying

  inland at a great height. I expect

  they will have been feeding all night

  on the coast. At least I should say I

  think they are curlews from the cry.

  Lochie says he has heard from Pelir at

  Ripon, + that he seems fed up. It appears

  it is his sound ankle (one was already

  unsound) which is strained, + somewhat

  badly. I think myself he will be a

  fixture there. Did I tell you he had

  been made a L. Corporal? We all

  wondered what on earth for! Every

  evening, we stroll down to the roadside

  (as far as we can get) + stand behind

  the barbed wire passing "facetious" (to

  put it mildly) remarks with the fellows

  who are passing. The newspapers here

  (ie the previous day's papers) cost 1 1/2 S +

  the other day a boy wanted 2 1/2 S for a Daily

  Mail! He did not get it! Well, it is

  nearly too dark to write now, so I will

  have a short nap, then supper + bed!

  Days are shortening now - it's only 6-30!

  Give my love to all, + remember me to

  Mr + Mrs B. if still at S. With all

  my love, + hopes that I shall soon be with

  you once again, bless you!

  Your loving, 

  Husband.
