   Right side, page 6 of letter 

  
  

  the poor chap has gone.

  What about Captain Firse, was

  he in the Batt. Fancy meeting

  Captain Ambrose in the back.

  It was strange but very nice for 

  you both to meet again.

  Will just get tea & then out

  to get the razor, tooth brush,

  etc. Poor old chap, are you 

  growing a beard? One good thing

  your hair will grow a decent

  length for a bit. What part of

  your head was hit & do

  you have it plastered or swashed

  I should love to have a peep

  at you. Reading, resting, sleeping

  Feeding what a nice easy time

  
  

   left side, page 7 of letter 

  
  

  some fellows have!

  Durham House Hospital has had

  another wing for 30 cot cases

  and now accommodates 120 beds.

  Elsie has told you in her letter

  about Cooper & Lockwood, both

  home wounded, (hope you get

  the letter through.) I think it 

  was Cooper wounded in the ankle.

  Our garden looks very nice at

  present. Lilac white & purple

  in full bloom also laburnum

  & the lily of the valley is a

  treat to look at so full of

  large blooms. Vegetables coming

  up will need thinning out, but
