such good tucker and plenty of it too, the only things we need to buy are porridge and tinned butter, first we have been able to get since I came over here, and we get an issue of butter twice a week too in "lieu" of bacon. Thats a great joke here; the QM is always said to be playing the game of lieu.
Anyhow I'll wait till I see your next letter and see if you say anything before I decide anything, but I think cabeling is the best generally. It has been raining again today but we are used to it now, and are in a good dry camp and our biveys are just A1. I hope you can read this Mother my pen is not printing well at all.
We are all training for sport and are feeling jolly fit, the canteen got in a supply of sand shoes the other day and was nearly knocked down in the rush for them; I hopped in for my cut and was greatly please to find they had a pair of [indecipherable] ones small enough for me.
My old horse "Suzanne" is picking up like anything, she ought to get very fat when the warm weather comes.
Love to Father, Hal & Fred and yourself Mother.
I am your loving son
Robert C. Wilson
