ack again some other day, if I am

to remain here very long.  I came back

from Flesquieres by a different route, and

got a lift on a motor lorry, which cut

the journey a little shorter. I was back

home by 3 in the afternoon, thoroughly

satisfied with the success of my errand.

The other boys were also pleased to know

I had succeeded, and they had saved my

dinner for me.

   Well mother, this is a long letter,

but I have been able to express myself

quite freely, because we were informed

today that the censoring of letters

has been abandoned, which is a 

welcome measure of freedom. I will

be able to tell you anything at all now,

but of course it will be finer when

I get home and am able to tell it to

you by word o' mou' at oor ain

fireside. God speed the day!
