  My Own Darling Marion,

                 We have enjoyed another lovely
  

  day and now a pleasant coolness is being

  evident. I turned in a little earlier this morning

  about 3.45 am + slept soundly until 9.30

  Breakfast took rather a long time and we had

  fried bacon as a luxury. Have had all the 

  food sent up cooked until the bacon came

  last night. To level things off a bit there was

  no water to wash with so I had a shave

  instead. No I didnt leave a tide mark for

  my sponge was damp + I got most of the

  dirt onto it + a little of the remainder on to

  the towel. I had a walk round part of my

  position with the C.O. It was lovely walking

  with the birds whistling, the trees almost

  covered with leaves + flowers sprung up

  all round. I was somewhat warm when I

  got back but I still think it is much

  more pleasant to be warm (- too warm) than

  too cold. This afternoon we have lolled

  about in the sun except for the odd
