  We have also seen a lot in the papers

  about not sending pcls  parcels  to soldiers - 

  but there has been nothing official

  yet, so must get you off another 

  cake before the notice comes. Of

  course you know we are rationed with

  Bread, jam and sugar so I 

  may have to send smaller cakes

  still so long as possible you will

  get a share. 

  I thought Dad told you last week

  about Will Cooper & Lockhart but find

  he didn't - perhaps he didn't quite catch

  what Mr. Carrington said. W. Cooper

  is in England with leg wounds (not

  serious) & Lockhart also with a smasheed

  ankle. I daresay Mr. C. will write & give

  you full particulars. 

  I asked Frank about your tobacco

  pouch, but he said he had settled it 

  with you & would not let me pay him

  
  

  4 6

  about the "Lobster & Tomato Paste", for

  we had not tried it. I posted you

  another pcl on Tuesday, expect

  you have it by now, hope the cucumber

  was  palatable  , could not very well send

  vinegar, sorry I forgot the eggs - I 

  had meant to boil them just

  after tea, then went out & quite

  forgot. Will send them next time

  should have sent them long ago

  but was afraid you would think

  them bad if a dark colour -

  however I hear if I plunge them 

  into cold water when boiled they

  keep their colour so you shall

  have some - Then you know

  they will be quite alright if 

  you like to hot them up again
