Dearest old Mrs.,
I was pleased to get your letter dated 18.3.15 – poor old Mrs down in the dumps because you didn't get a letter last mail – well old girl I can assure you I wrote – I haven't yet missed writing to you each week. I told you in my last letter that I had received the cigar lighter – I have not yet received the Easter egg. I note that Trix is leaving you on May 13th – I suppose she is beginning to fret about her family poor old Trix; I think she is quite right to return if she is worrying about them. Capt. Ross is one of our officers what about him? He is a very self important young gentleman. He is a son of the lunacy specialist in Sydney. Of course I read the book each night & find great comfort in reflecting that you are probably reading the same page at about the same time as I do. I went to service at Mena House Chapel to-day (Easter Day) but it was a very cold comfortless affair. I have just sent you a cable addressed to Westborne Grove P.O. "How do very fine best love" I hope it reaches you all right.
