  My Own Darling Marion,

                 I was indeed lucky when I
  

  arrived back on the 19th for I found a letter

  a parcel from you + a parcel from Kenneth

  awaiting me. The letter was lovely + the

  parcels were full of good things - just

  the very things I wanted. We are now

  actually enjoying our eight days rest +

  I do not think that we shall have as

  rough a time again for the reliefs are

  now in working order + for every

  sixteen days we get forward we

  shall get eight day's rest. Rest is

  rather a misleading term for we

  work + have inspections &c. It really

  means that we are in a comparatively

  safe place - practically out of range

  of the guns - + we get undisturbed

  nights. It gives ones nerves a

  chance of becoming normal again

  I had a tough day on Wednesday

  I started about 9 am + walked

  most of the time until 3 pm, looking

  at the ground over which we were

  to advance. At 7 am I started out
