Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound C/O Capt Mackenzie A M L O A P O Le Havre 21st Nov 1915 Dear Mary, I have let all the rest know that I have changed my address so will drop you this note so that yourself and Phemie will know Really I was very sorry leaving good old Calais. I was as well off there as though I was at home and much easier than soldiering at home. They were really nice people I had to do with there especially the house where I was teaching the little lassie English. She was crying like to break her little heart when she saw me going away. Of course I was never angry with her if she had not got her lesson and she would always say to her mother that I was such a kind teacher and that she was not afraid of me. I got angry with her just once because her mother told me to do so and she was crying all night after it, so I could not have the heart to do so again. She is going to write a letter to Phemie I expect it will be in French. I had my dinner and supper with them the day before I came away and a box of biscuits and another of chocolate to take with me. I am missing my good dinner today. Of course I had a few friends at Calais! I sleep here along with the Police in small canvas huts and it is very cold at night as there are no fires in them and I have none of my old pals with me so it is pretty rotten at present. If it was the summer time I would rather have gone back to the front along with the regiment. This is a fine big town much bigger than Calais. You can give this letter to Phemie when you have finished with it and I will write one when I get one from her. We have very cold weather but dry. There is a fine big Y.M.C.A. hall here tea cake etc. very cheap. Write when you can Love to you both From Dodo Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
