Dear Mary,
I received your letter which was a bit longer than usual but you will have to do with a very short one from me this time as I have very little extra time to spare. I have no time during the day at all for writing and I am just writing this in a hurry in the sitting room as the Capt is out. I am fairly kept going you know. When the end of the month was up, the boss took it for another fifteen days so I don’t know what will be the next shift But I am alright here at anyrate. I had the w [illegible] to whom the flat belongs to working with us two days. I will buy a cup of tea from you when I come next time. I don’t know when we have fairly good weather here not much rain at all. Hope you will excuse this brief scrawl will write a longer one next time. Hope you will get the Glengarry. Write soon
With love from Dod
