I say old sport, most of us are fearfully short of tobacco & matches – somehow[indecipherable] – could you persuade the Col to send along say £25 worth of tobacco (say Havelock) & say ½ a packet of matches per man

Will write you fully when I get [indecipherable] to post paper. When you write enclose envelope & paper for reply.
