1. Dear Nell
This will probably be the last letter you will get from this hole of a place. Goodness knows where the next will be from, but we will not be out of this country, for a few weeks. A certain person gave us an address the other day & he said that we would probably get our share of the work in flanders, this should be a capital letter but caps are apt to catch the censors eye.
Am writing this & having it posted in town as we are not supposed to write any more letters for the next three months so you will have to please excuse me to anyone who might complain of not receiving any letters. You might have to put up with the same treatment, but
