10th January 1918
My dear Mother,
My mail has started to arrive once more - it has all been for a trip to the Flying Corps - why on earth I dont know! some silly goat at the base I suppose - but I'm sorry to hear that you were worried about my change of address when I started signalling, because as long as the letters have got ALH Regt on them I'm sure to get them, and it does not matter a bit about squadron once you get known in the Regt., and especially a signaller, and especially especially when the Post orderly is a friend of mine and sometimes has his bivey next door to mine. My letters from home were 2 from you and Father on 8th Nov and one from you 17th Nov and a parcel 22nd Nov, the mail is drifting in so I expect another letter from you Mother still. I also got a letter from Aunt Katie dated 23rd Nov and one from Hal 16th Nov - also tons of papers. I was very grieved to hear of Frank Potter being killed. Aunt Fan and Uncle Jack will feel it and so will Robin. I will write to Aunt Fan.
Your parcel arrived in good order Mother, and all the home-grown things were very nice,
