Magna, from here we had to walk four miles back to Camp and arrived back feeling very tired and just too late for supper. Instead we had a glass of Guiness in the Mess and a bar of chocolate which did for our supper.

I didn’t finish writing this letter last night and have since received your parcel, Mother and cake, thank a lot I am going to eat it tonight although I guess there wont be too much when I have given the other chaps a taste. I might not be able to pack a parcel to send back for a few days as I shall not have the opportunity of posting it, but will do so as soon as I can get into Lutterworth in time to post it.

I am pleased to hear that the photographs are O.K and you are going to send them on to Mary for me.

It will be Alex’s birthday in just over a week’s time and haven’t the faintest idea what he wants so I guess I’ll have to

[page break]

write to him – I bet he was annoyed at being recalled – wasn’t he!

Well I don’t think there is any more news at the moment so cheerio for now

Love to All.
