  My Own Darling Wife,

    It was good to receive 
  

  your letter of the 31st met when I got

  back from my tramp round our new 

  location last night. Sorry I only got

  a card off to you. I shall be sorry to leave

  my wood to-night and for the next

  few days or so I shall be living in

  a trench where it is as well to keep

  out of sight during the daylight. We shall

  be in the old game again of sleeping by

  day & keeping awake at night.

    No, I don't think there is much
  

  chance of my getting away on a course

  although I am not so short of officers

  now as when I was reduced to one

  other than myself, none of them have

  had much experience. They are good

  fellows but all a bit "shell shy" & I
