  left side

  got here the rain came & it rained

  until halfway through this morning.

  Everything is wet & muddy now

  but I hope the sun will soon

  re-appear again so that we shall have

  nice warm days. We start training

  in the morning 6:30 to 7:30 then

  breakfast followed by a morning's

  work - games in the afternoon & lectures

  in the evening. Probably we shall be

  ever so glad to get into the line

  again & live less strenuous days.

  I was very pleased to have your

  letter to greet me on my arrival

  & read it at my early breakfast.

  Seems strange to have breakfast

  just before going to bed doesn't it.

    No you had not told me
  

  about the costume - unless the

  letter went astray. I was pleased

  that you had been looking after

  yourself. Did I tell you that

  Hicks had been sent back some

  right side

  time ago as his nerve had gone

  & he seems very shaky. We had a

  shock the other night for we had a 

  wire to say he had died from

  suspected spotted fever. We thought

  he was well away from danger for

  the duration of the war. Charles

  Harvey has gone under also - died

  of wounds. As I told you the

  wound he got appeared to be

  quite a slight one but unfortunately

  it went wrong way & caused

  pressure on the brain. He was

  operated on but without the

  wished for result.

    I hope you had a good
  

  time at Headingly. Glad you

  got that Crest & I think it was

  not too much to give in

  return. Kenneth must have 

  "come on" he can do such

  a lot of wonderful things

  No you ought not to wait
