Dear Stan,
You are a very good correspondent & I received a letter from you last week & this afternoon along comes yours 7th inst.
Thanks for writing letting me know how things are with you. I was very amused over your previous letter & the aviator dropping French war papers over you - about the French quotations you inserted for I don't know a word of the Froggie lingo.
Glad to hear of old Willie. Had letters from & replied to both him & Finch a few days ago.
Fancy hearing from Houston - with his very neat greeting.
By the way I forgot to reply to a question of yours in a previous letter. You asked whether you should send Anne Dunn details of Cecil's grave. I think she would be very pleased to hear about it & glad to know some friend had gone to the trouble of searching it out.
Hope you managed to get a good spell out of the line this time. Fancy Knight Capt. & M.C., I suppose he deserved 'em. Burnell a click clinking chap in 2nd Divy has just got his Captaincy & goes back his old Coy viz, the 5th in Steele's place. Dumas is still in England when the Mjr wrote.
