My Darling, I got your letter yesterday and loved getting it we are still here in billets and the last two days have been lovely. We played the sergeants at football yesterday and drew with them after a real good game. Darling there is so little news and so little going on that I don't know what to put in my letters. The colonel goes on leave tomorrow, there are 7 others to go before I do but we go at the rate of about 2 a week so my turn ought to come soon. Everything is very quiet on the Front and we hear very few rumours even. Humphrey de Trafford has gone to Paris for 5 days leave. I saw Roley Cavendish yesterday but couldn't speak to him. Jamie and about 6 others are all coming out shortly, I hope he isn't in this mess as it is such a splendid one at present and he will spoil everything. A fellow called Smith Cunningham came out a few days ago. His Aunt who died had a lease of 5 years of Glenloin at Arrochar and has left him the lease in her will, rather funny isn't it? Have you heard how Mannie is? Oliver’s colonel has been sent home I believe they get Crawley, but at present Ma Jefferies commands them and has them on parade from 7 in the morning till 6 at night, they are an awful Battalion. The Brigadier dined with us the night before last and drank to Arthur’s health. You ought to be getting much stronger now Darling I wish you could get away to North Berwick it will do you such an awful lot of good when will you manage it? You've been in London nearly a year. I had a letter from a man at the base who comes from Luss and had seen me when I was going on leave. Has Herbert grown any bigger I'm afraid he will be very fractious this week. Tell me his weight when next you write. Goodbye Darling I am longing to see you again and a month seems such an age but still it will be more spring like at Rossdhu the later it is. All my love Sweetheart and try and get out of London soon it will make such a difference, all my love Darling,
