2witticisms in your diverting epistles duly noted. When I have need I'll pass them off on the unfortunate soldiers as my own. If I get sand bagged, it will be your fault. While I'm on the job, may I gently, quietly but firmly point out that it would be a far finer feat to finish those socks instead of talking about them (size 10 inches, 8 boot). In the absence of the sox the delightful dissertation about 'beautifully knitted' etc etc falls on deaf ears (& cold feet). I spose the war will be over before I get them. One of your letters was dated July 19 & took nearly 8 weeks to get here. I'l have to shoot the postman.
Glad Tiens back. Shannons away sick. I'm all right. War still on. Write again soon. Lots of love. Good bye Jean. Tinga ling ling.Ol
Got the photo of Mum & Candy.
