[Page 173]

this trip took six months as it will be too cold in camp in England, so when I get there I am applying to get sent straight over to the trenches as it will better than doing stale work in camp.

The first thing I want to find out when we get into Durban is who won the Melbourne Cup.

There rumours going round that Farmers has been burned down also A. Horderns.

Did you get my note written on the day we left.  I also sent a note by "bottle post" which I hope reaches you.  Well there's nothing else to write about so I'll have to stop.

I saw dad the day we left but I suppose he couldn't see me.

Will close now with lots of love & hope you are all right at "The Nest".

Your loving son
Rupert
