However he has a vastly better time I suppose but after all I don't care, I'm glad I joined our Army & went through the mill. I went over to his Mess to lunch. The others were inclined to be patronising but I shook them up, most refined & highly educated & intelligent. The O.C. reckoned he couldn't understand why I was only a Sergeant.
Duncan was much amused.
Suppose the book has stopped pro tem, how does it go, I'm all impatience.
By the way Hefty Lasham writes to cheer. She has also sent me a cake. I haven't received it yet but isn't it good of her.

Goodnight, I hope you're OK. My love to Mac & Graham & the Boss & yourself very muchly.
Always yours
Wilkie
