My dear Muriel,
Well, I was taken
before the C.O. yesterday - together
with 2 Auzacs - + we are put on
convoy for Blighty, so that we may
leave any time now, + I shall see
you again, lassie. Hooray! It seems
too good to be true! In fact you
will probably hear of my arrival
before this letter reaches you. And
won't we make the most of our time
together, my own. I have just been
reading the commencement of another
book - "The Columns" by Charles Marriott
- +, although I may not have time
to finish it, I think it will be good.
It's somewhat peculiar, however, + also
