Dear Mary,
I have received your letter & photos. It must have taken a long time to come if you posted in on Monday but better late than never. I am very pleased with the family group indeed It is a good photo if it was only a bit clearer. Nelly must be a genius to take one of me standing & sitting , on the same card. I have got a few photos in my book but the family one is best of the lot. So poor little Tucker has gone west. It is apparent we will have no young men in Lochbroom soon at all. It is very hard on poor Colin Mackenzie and his wife. So little Nellie was asking my address. Did she know I was an hour and a half in Edinburgh when I came back? We have very stormy weather just now rain continually and a perfect gale blowing today & very cold. But nothing to say as long as it is not in the trenches. Could you get me a new black Glengarry do try & you will much oblige. Give that woman a rap in the head now & again & she will be quiet -
Write soon love from Dodo.
