tastes but I'd have Lloyd every time.
New Adjutant & the new orderly officer is Colin Richard. You may know him, an old Kings School lad. He has been quite nice to me. I fell up on a young pal of Peter's the other day, young Reg Watt of Minda. A quaint kid. I haven't seen Brad lately but I did run on Duncan, looking very cold & freakish but otherwise well. He was very nice & we talked for quite a while. I don't think things are too nice for him but he is not so philosophic or acquiescent as I am.
I'm seriously thinking of getting to Paris again but there I don't know. I'm restless & uneasy these days but have been better the last day or two & I expect will be better. So many changes of our personnel upset me.
I hope for another Blighty leave next month or February & should have a good time but one never knows these days. I try not to worry over prospects & am succeeding very well.
How is old Mac, & Tom Fogarty. Glad you like Jack Findlay, he is a good chap. I must write to Mrs. Bine & Miss Hilda, they are bricks to me too. You're a bonza famille. Glad to hear about Alison, good luck to him.
Tell the Boss I'll write in a day or so. I must clear now. Love to all including Graham & especially your very valued self & always believe me,
Yours to the proverbial cinder,
Wilkie
