  where all the poor fellows can be placed. We were very

  sorry to hear about Wesley B. poor little fellow he has only

  been out a few weeks. Mrs. Barrow Fish says Franky is

  wounded (only slightly) & is in hospital at Bologne.

  I don't think you need to be in a hurry to go out soon if

  you do top the list with the Lewis gun. still you would 

  be one more to push back the enemy, and I can see the

  old spirit to conquer is still alive. Every one seems to 

  think that right must prevail over might in time, but it certainly

  looks as if might is victorious at present. (old pessimist)

  You won't be getting home yet a bit, I expect you are kept 

  back to train another lot now you have lost your Platoon.

  It's a bit rough on you, but no doubt you are the right instructor

  for new beginners. however Elsie is home all the week

  so between us we may endeavour to get your room

  ready for occupation. Dad & I are keeping the bed and

  Elsie met Mr. Carrington this morn. He had heard from Horace

  who is now working in a farm & exerting good influence upon

  all the men with whom he comes in contact so his Dad

  is well pleased. We went downto see Mrs. Carrington a week

  or so since & took her a few Camilias for your sake.

  We are promised a taste of the marmalade she was making

  when next we go. The lovely kitten is a full sized cat & 

  still playful. We put him through the rug like you used
