She must be a very kind & considerate girl to help you out of such a difficult task. I hope to meet her sometime or perhaps I may see you before long but I don't know yet but I am going to try at anyrate. I will let you know if anything comes off. You never said anything about the shoulder plates I hope you have not forgotten them. Send them on as soon as you can & mind if you get half a sovereign on the street that you will send me on some cigs I only get 5 francs a week (4/2) & one of these is paid for extras in food and the rest does not take longto disappear. We have terrible warm weather just now & they say it is the same at home. It will soon harm the crop unless rain soon comes. Did you ever go to see Wm Munros widow in Dingwall? I wonder if Alick came out here again. It must be very hard on Lady Fowles [?]. There is a long time since a military funeral was in Lochbroom before I have two officers to look after now & I am kept more on the move I was out the country today for a ride on a big cavalry horse & I enjoyed it immensly. The saddle felt strange at first but I soon got into the way of it. See if you can manage to write now before long & mind the plates & photo With love from your brother This is for your friend Dear Nurse MD, Thank you very much for writing such a nice letter. You should give Mary some lessons in letter writing. It is very warm here & I am jolly glad I am out of the trenches. I hope to see you sometime & will be very pleased to have your photo just now. Be good now With kind regards from Dodo Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
