My dear Mother Father & all
My cheek has patched up fine the stitches are still in but they will be cut in a day or so.
I am enclosing a letter which will interest you.
There is absolutely nothing doing, we are camped in the middle of a muddy paddock awaiting Spring, the weather has been very mild for the past 3 weeks only rain has fallen, but this has been bad for the trenche, they are just lanes of liquid mud, the sides slip in you see & the mud varies from 1ft to 4 ft. They remind one of Bairnfather's pictures & you wonder if it wouldn't pay to go over the top. We are "fed up" & wish the whole business would cease.
With love to all
Malcolm
