Do you think I don't know that, lassie

mine, - or were you referring to the

words of the song? Yes, I expect you

will be changing, but only wait and see

- I cannot write all I should  like. It

will only make something greater as

far as I'm concerned - see? Poor old

Dash getting lost - I can quite see him with

one ear up + one down! So poor Richard

III has been operated upon - well I can

sympathise as I've been ditto myself (I'm

alright now) but I'll tell you later what

troubles I had in that respect. Two more

of our ward left for "Blighty" at 5.30

this morning.  This leaves only one out

of bed. It's hard  luck  on him as he

has to do all the fetching of food etc

for the rest of us. At present I'm

reading the "Abbess of Vlaye" by

Weyman, it's very good altho' I've an

idea I've read it before in days of

yore. We are having beautiful weather
