  Dear Pat

              I Rec your very welcome letter

  and am very glad to hear all at home are

  well. I am at the base for a couple of days

  and then I shall as you say go to taste the

  comforts of the dug-outs. it is a rotten time

  to have to go up, the Winter, but I suppose

  we will get hardened to it if we live long enough

  which I hope to do as I expect to be home

  for Christmas as I believe it will be finished

  by then I believe the Germans are about

  done and they know it.  That chap

  that travelled to Kingstown with me I 

  lost him when we got off the train and

  did not see him after he must have travell-

  ed 1st class as I looked for him on board

              I Rec your very welcome letter

  and am very glad to hear all at home are

  well. I am at the base for a couple of days

  and then I shall as you say go to task the

  comforts of the try-outs. it is a rotten time

  to have to go up  the Winter but I suppose

  we will get hardened to it if we live long enough

  which I hope to do as I expect to be home

  for Christmas as I believe it will be finished

  by then I belive the Germans are about

  done and they know it.  That chap
