Dear Mary,
I receiver your letter two days ago and as I have just managed to read it I will try and write one back. I am writing it sitting in the public park under a willow tree and it is very hot indeed, just beautiful. My word soldiering is alright in Calais. Get up at 6am and finished about ten and nobody to worry you after that No route marches here or gymnastics although I would not mind some of the latter every morning to keep fit After dinner I have a walk or perhaps down to the park as I have done today and then tea at five, have a turn to the Capts and then a walk and to bed about ten. Although we have got to be off the street before 8.30. All lights are now out at 8 o clock so that the place is in total darkness. I should like fine to be staying here during peace time but there are so many army motors & soldiers about just now. You should see the flashy ladies of this town when they go out walking. My word they can dress up and on a Sunday you can hardly walk the street with people All the young girls here work at lace and dress making Hope you will get that rosette for me soon. How is Nurse D tell her I was asking for her. Has Phemie arrived yet. You will be alright together. Write soon
Love from Dodo
