the bottle of tomato sauce had broken so we could not use it, but the plum was just A1. The honey looks very nice, but we have not started on it yet - it is still candied hard. It was good of Grannie to sent me that £1 for my birthday. I will write and thank her.
14th. Was not able to finish this before, Mother, as we have been moving again and it has been pretty wet the last couple of days.
We are now camped up close to that first Jewish convoy we overcame at Ras Deiran. It has been a most beautiful day today and everything is beginning to look green.
My fountain pen is empty so think I will leave this till I can fill it in the morning.
15th. That packet of photos from Fred arrived this morning. My word, aren't they great - put mine in the shade I guess - I will write and point out their faults to him in a day or two. I also got that book, The Dawn of History, that Aunt Katie sent me months ago, and a cake from the Mt. Frome Cake fund and a parcel from Aust. Comforts Fund - also a letter explaining why my mail had all been sent to the Flying Corps. I wrote a very formal letter to the base P.O. and the reply I got is most affectionate - think I'll send it to you.
