sometime last December –

Major Dudley who was so anxious to get me away with reinforcements in Decr. last, has been acting D.A.Q.M.G. – I fancy that he has a training depot now – Then again there is Major Sauer Capt Vickers and quite a number of other officers, who know me well, are now acting, in some capacity or other, on the Staff.

I have given you no idea yet of what the Country is like in which we are operating.

Nature of terrain – Steep Slopes; stunted bush in places; clay soil with a sand gravel and soft lime stone admixture. Timber very very scarce; Soil terribly sticky after little rain.

Climate.
at present – beautiful warm days Frightfully cold nights.
