My dear Dorothy,
If you, and those photos you sent, are not as alike as two peas, I don't think I would recognise you next time we meet.
Only a few months to go now, you know. Having got the push by the Turks, we all consider it time we begin to get serious. Of course, its a state of mind that takes some working up to, especially under present circumstances. After the day's work, some work don't forget - I just ride round the landscape for an hour or so & arrive back in time for dinner. After four or five courses, the six Company Officers sit round the fire and smoke cigars etc, until its time to do a little more work before going to bed. The only - I won't tell you about that, its a nasty reminder that we're not in Australia. Puzzle what is it? First prize: three times as big as what it was going to be at first. Second, third and fourth added together equal first. There is one thing I like about this place and that is the pigs. All you have to do is look out the window and you see about a dozen of them wallowing in filth and thereby making their short lives happy.
Give all at home and others about seven kisses for me,
Your most affectionate brother,
Arthur
