for her letter - I roared over her description

of yourself. I'm going to try +

bring both Ja. + Ju. some little things over

So they thought we were "cool hands"!

Well, lassie, I think it was because we

had faith in, + therefore no fear for our future

- knowing what we thought about each other.

Wait till I see you in the violet velvet hat

- just you wait! Well, lassie, we ought

to be thankful for our luck. There are

3 in our marquee now, none of whom

have seen Blighty for the last 12 months

- + been in France all the time! I've

been looking at the coves on the fir trees

here + They are as big as this sheet of

paper. I saw a great Tit, a martin.

Well, lassie, I'm eagerly looking forward to

seeing your face in the next few days.

Give my love to all. With all my love

+ just one as an earnest of what's to come.

Your loving husband,

Stanley.
