Dear Mother,

Only a very few lines this time.

Well I'm off to France for certain in about 10 days time. 

When I had my leave Rex was in London.  I have just found out and had I have been in London I may have seen him.  I'm dying to see the poor kid, as it is now well over two years since I saw him.

Went for a twenty one mile route to-day, but as the step was too quick the whole crowd took no notice of the band & just kept our own step and when we passed a big tommies camp they all laughed at us, as there was the band playing on its own and we having a different step altogether, but our troubles, for the tommies.
