Arch to write & let me know how he got on with his exam. Has Dean Fry got home for keeps
You say that you miss me on Sundays," is it only Sundays Nell?" I miss you all every blooming day without exception. The socks you are sending are fine & I think the shirts Mum sends must be a good idea as I am about the only one in the hut who has not found anything in the way of live stock. Its very funny to see them strip off & commence the hunt & they catch some beauties I can tell you. I went in & had a hot bath the other night & it was a grand sensation, the first since I left Sydney. You can imagine the mud that I left behind. I was so light -headed when I left that I left my identification disc behind so now will have to pay to get one made, as it does not do to be without one.
You mention that the next pair of socks, are some socks, & will take your tip & have my puttees off & display them We have to go on the first parade minus the puttees, for physical exercises, so I expect I will be sent off parade for flashness. News is Mafeesh or finished so must say au revoir with best love from
Al
P.S. Best love to all the family
