  My Own Darling Wife,

    Just a short note this time
  

  to say that we have finished our rest

  for a time & are moving forward to do

  a little more work. We all feel much

  better for the change of living in huts

  instead of in holes in the

  ground. The weather seems more

  promising, although we had snow

  yesterday, and the sun has a 

  good warming power during the day.

    I hope you are all keeping fit &
  

  well & enjoying life. I have no

  news cause I can't write about

  the war & our billets are not

  too exciting. One sleeps so long.

  I had dinner with Howard &

  Sheppard last night & found them

  both enjoying the war. They have a

  little hut cut into the side of

  a bank & were very cosy. Charles

  Harvey has rejoined us as he is

  now considered by the powers that

  be to be thoroughly acquainted with
