My Dear Son
I duly receved yours of the 25th + duly note
the contents which consist of a request to
your Mother for a recipe for a plum pudding
+ to myself a request for a remittance to allow
you to have a week end a St Claude if you can
obtain a pass.
There will be no difficulty in you getting the recipe
only I doubt if the regimental cook whom I assume
will be an amateur will turn out as finished
a product as your mother still I don't think
the result will trouble your digestive organs
let me know whether is his effort prove a success
or otherwise
In regard to the financial operation Alice I
understand has already written you + I trust when
you recieve hers you will kindly remember
More can be there was very little difficulty in
complying with your request as your Mother had
received about 50/- Allotment pay on your
behalf + owing to the Bfd Corp Bonus paying
+ the books being Closed. She had this in hand
or the result otherwise might have been serious
I was somewhat amused when I received yours of
the 25th (Note the date 25 days after making
your Allotment) + carried my mind back to yours
of a week or two earlier in which you laid
most lucidly what arrangements you where making
