Dear Dad Mum & All
Received your cable and immediately replied to it. I am as good as can be – About a week ago I burned my hand pretty badly, sending up a 'Rocket': it should be quite all right again in a couple of days.
I am awfully sorry that you have not been getting my letters regularly: it is not that I have failed to write regularly – for I have done that, and since big things have been happening, I have, in addition made a practice of sending you a cable every three weeks or so.
I have just come out of the trenches, and as mail closes to-day I must post a note only – I have just come 8 mile on horse-back in order to get a hot bath, and a little relaxation – Immediately I write this and see to posting it, I am going to a Cinema show – Thats Good-O isn't it? Not a bad war after all, is it? Well, Dad I am getting on fairly well, with my new Bn. Only had one round with the C.O to date – I won.
