  C. Coy. Hut 24.

  North Camp,

  Ripon

  Thursday afternoon

   
  

  My dear Lassie,

  I have just come in from football - for the

  second time today - in which I have done valiant (?)

  deeds, + am feeling correspondingly hot + jiggered.

  I wonder where you are just now! In York most

  likely. Well, what do you think is the latest

  [  ] !!! I duly got back on Tuesday night

  to find, as I expected, that the battalion was isolated

  + that we were  not allowed to leave our lines ie we

  could get as far as the top of the road. Well - we

  paraded as usual on Wednesday morning

  + when on physical jerka about 10 am, up came

  the Quartermaster - "Anyone from Hut 24 here? Get

  back to the Hut - you're isolated again!" It appears

  Ted Bawtree's illness has turned out to be Scarlet Fever!

  our isolation will probably last 14 days! It's positively

  sickening. I don't know whatever you'll do with yourself

   if it does, my poor lass. However insufferable we can
