France 27th January 1915&#13;
&#13;
Dear Mary,&#13;
They seem to all got tired of writing but yourself as the last three letters were from you. We are still in the rest camp although we expected to be away during the night. We slept last night in marching order but we got no call after all. Things seemed to have gone the right way. It is very cold just now &amp; it was snowing last night but it was light. I am after having a very good dinner from the landlady. They are indeed the nicest people I met since I came to France. I can understand most of what they say now &amp; can also make myself quite understood so I am alright. So Ricky is growing big in mind &amp; body now. He should be able to write me a letter now or a part of one. Get him to do it. It was a loss to Mrs Ross to lose her cow I dont know if the one she got will be so good. Tell them I was asking for them all &amp; especially Granny Babsy?. The parcel has not come yet but will likely be in tonight. I am very grateful to Granny Ross for fags &amp; tell her ...I had a little parcel from Nellie since two nights but the more the merrier they are all welcome. I must close now with Love to all at home From Dodo </text>
