funniest thing I've ever seen & George Robey the greatest comedian. It was a great show. Tonights the Night at the Gaiety was the daintiest & most finished. Quite perfect, funny & sweet. I liked Grossmith.
The best individual item was a simple little song, A Broken Doll, at the Vaudeville by a girl named Billie Carleton. I'd leave my happy home for her all right. Had a good trip back & they were all glad to see me & reckon I look much better & I feel it too.
Things are changed a bit, we are now 2nd Section, 2nd D.A.C., A.I.F., France so a/d that way in future. I don't like the change but we can't help or alter these things. Have a new O.C. a nice chap & very decent to me but I liked the former one very well & we knew & suited one another. However:- Nice for you to have Stella Wheeler with you & good for Graham too. How is the scamp. What a pity the Ellis kid is so delicate. Hope he improves. What is Miss McLean like?
Now I must flee & to bed as its late & I have to be up early. My regards to the dear old Boss. I hope things are good with him & that both Tog & Telleraga are in tip top order & that he has a good shearing. Hope you're well & that you're not feeling too restless. Good night, love to Graham & yourself. Thanks so much for all your niceness.
Yours as ever
Wilkie
