Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound B E F France 3/3/15 Dear Mary, I received your letter of 25th, I think also parcel which was very acceptable, as we were just after coming down from the trenches & the scones were very good with tea. It was impossible to get a letter or P C away so you will have to excuse me. We were not in the same trenches this time much better ones but we got any amount of shells. The broken house in which our Coy were billeted, was separate from the rest and was shelled every day we were there and not one of us was hit. The first shell always fell short & whenever we heard it we scooted & took shelter behind a big house next door. Altogether there were about 80 shells dropped jolly close to so I think we were lucky to escape. We are down in reserve just now & are just enjoying some [illegible] songs from an organ for a penny. By jove [illegible] was lucky to get home but the [illegible] away is [illegible]. Hugh is in hospital with a cut he got on his hand & some dirt got in it. I have just received Isa's p c also journal. Give mother my congratulations. I hope they are not too late How is Mrs Ross getting on [illegible] tell them I was asking for them. How is father keeping just now. We had very little snow here it seems you had a regular snow storm Could you send me a small can of cocoa it is a change from Black tea I must now close. You need not send more socks just now. Love to all from Dodo Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
