it doesn't matter. She told me that she had been told – (in a letter I fancy she said) that Lieut. Cull had been invalided home – (or rather was on the way). How interesting – I have been killed several times now and invalided home once –
Enclosed is a snap of 'Some-one' taken Xmas morning – I had taken a pair of underpants out of my box (issue underpants) and was trying them on – my friend began laughing at the size of them – He seized my Camera and snapped me – You may see one of the patches on my head.
Patches are not visible on my nut now – for the reason that I have allowed my hair to grow long enough to brush over –
I am very very sorry to say, Dad that I have lost the beads that you gave me – I will get others – but they will hardly replace the ones you gave me – I lost the fine prayer book which George gave me – Of course I had no control over the manner in which I was taken off the Peninsula – I was absolutely not in a state to think of any thing – which I was leaving
I hope that you got the money which I sent home – I shall not alter my allotment – for 'tis as you say, as well to leave it – but I can send home – that which accumulates above my necessities – It always costs a trifle
