wonder you love it as you do, Dad. I am simply longing for a trip home but of course realize how impossible it is for the time being.
The people are so calm, confident and chivalrous, here. Hardly a family that has not had a Son killed at the war.
Considering everything necessities are awfully reasonable here – I have been messing and jolly well too on about 3 francs a day (about 2/- 2/0 At restaurants behinds the lines, things are pretty hot – that is at those places kept apart for Officers. A good dinner would cost up to 10 francs – (a little over 7/-) 1 good peach costs 1½ francs nearly 1/1 – I had intended writing a few more pages – but word has been sent round – to make ready to move in 1 hour so that I must perforce bring this to a close.
With love and Kisses from Your aff & loving Son & brother
Bill
Cecil was well when last I heard from him
