My dear old Belle,

Received your nice long letter last night also the photos. I think they are splendid and I'm awfully delighted to have them.

Eddy seems to have grown very much and looks quite a little trick in his "Soldier's Uniform". Dear old Mother looks just the same & very well. You look thinner than the others. It is a good one of Jane & Al. Hope you like the snap I sent of myself. I received such a nice affectionate letter from poor old Lucy & I do hope you are all happy together once more. I shall scribble a few lines to her this mail.

Poor old boys are on the move again; Fred has left here but not very far also George & Norman. Nearly all our friends are having changes. I think Dorothy is still at Heliopolis but no doubt I shall see her next Friday – I'm having the day-off, so
