  6.

  Etaples - you have saved them some time

  haven't you. Yes if I had seen you on

  the bucket I should have nipped you well

  and pulled your ears nearly off. It 

  will be grand to plague you again with

  the old tricks - What do you say? "Oh!

  chuck it." I shall only go on all the more

  Bow-wow. I am going to have no

  impertinence from you. Your mother says

  she is going to tell you all tales of

  me when you come. But I wish you

  to bring many "pinches of salt with you"

  They will be needed.

  
  

  When I read out this sentence from

  your letter "my legs are rapidly getting stronger

  again" your mother said "Poor lad they

  were weak after scarlet fever."

  
  

  I shall send you papers and a watch

  wristlet protector tomorrow, but shall I be

  able to get the right size - perhaps I had

  better wait.

  
  

  Do I remember the dells on the way

  from Cayton? Rather laddie - they were

  "Kiss Corners" weren't they. We used to have

  fits lest any one should see us didn't

  we. I can just feel your arms round me
