I received 2 letters from you on
fridayThursdayand thank you very much for them. I was only
able to scribble those few words in reply I was so
pushed for time, but that was better than nothing
what say you old lady.
I don't know what they will do with me yet. I
expect I shall be here for some time yet, and if I
have nothing much to do I will try & get to Aintree
during the week end but will let you know for certain
during the week.
I have not written to whiskers yet but I shall
have to do so if I can get leave.
This camp looks very deserted to-day since the
last of the men went this morning. it will be rather
lonely here now they have gone, but I shall have
to think of you old lady & keep the blue devils away.
What sort of weather are you having in Aintree
it is awful here today, ground covered with snow
this morning & fearfully cold, quite a change after
the lovely weather.
The poor old Colonel was awfully cut up
when he said good bye, he called the SM Sergeant Major & myself
