Well after some of my experiences which I have never told you of before, I'll give you a little 1917 news, ending up on the former story asking you to write to this soldier father of mine. He is a nice chap, comes from Sydney. Last night there was a dance on at Herdcott & he took me in, but I did not do any sliding about; I got to work on the wheat & sheep (sandwiches) & slept down in his bunk until this morning; have to go down on Monday for certain & am welcome down there any time.
They have (the old hands, Sgts & Officers) been talking about getting me down there, since a few of them know I'm here.
Left the Major on account of going to Rupes lot, for could not come away from brigade to go straight to another battalion.
Have received very few letters from home the last three months. Rupe had some a few days ago so know you are still going on like Johnnie Walker - well I mean that th there are no egg shells flying about.
