  left side

  most of your time out of

  doors. Ta for your letter of the

  29th received last night.

  We might pot the partridge

  only it would be dangerous

  for some of the troop with a

  service rifle & besides it is 

  strictly against GH2 orders.

  Hope you had a good time at the

  theatre. Hope the Balls will

  want to stay, but 2 wks each

  days will prove rather strenuous 

  work. You ought to have

  one afternoon off a week surely.

  Glad Kenneth is well & still

  going strong. The snaps were

  rather dark but they look

  very good. I am looking forward

  to getting a finished copy

  in a day or two. Kenneth

  looks quite a big fellow & 

  very sturdy. Doesn't appear

  as if there were any shortage

  right side

  of food for him. He has got

  some hair too hasn't he? He 

  sits his mount very well

  but lifts his hands a bit

  too high - won't get a good

  touch on the reins. I can

  see very much of you in 

  the snap - 'cause your face 

  has gone dark.

    I love you Marion & I
  

  do want you to be happy

  & comfy until I can come

  & look after you again.

    All my thoughts come 
  

  to you. Tell Kenneth that

  I send him lots of love & kisses

  May all happiness wait 

  upon you Beloved. Heaps

  of kisses a big hug & all

  my love

  Your own Husband
