My dear Mother Father & Sister
Received your parcel - the one on which you had to alter the address - yesterday most welcome as I had been without tobacco for a fortnight the lollies tasted good, papers had stuck a bit so I am compelled to chew the lot, this is no disadvantage at all - c'est toutes les memes choses.
Had a good mail on my arrival back from school, fairly interesting of course we receive a heap of letters from folks in whom we have little interest still they are very kind to write.
The weather has been of the very best possibly a little to warm in the middle of the day but nice & cool at night. There has not been a single shell within cooee & only a small amount of bomb dropping at night the war is still away on the horizon, watched the shells & guns over there this morning.
