Dear Mary,&#13;
	I am a long time indeed in answering your letter &amp; the cap you sent me. Well I must say I was a bit of a noodle, never give you the size and henceforth it is much too big for me and really I don’t think it can be helped. I am going to keep it until I go home or leave or try and get it exchanged, which perhaps you would be able to do in the interval It is really a pity as it is a nice cap. I would probably have been on leave by now only it has been stopped since a week or so and no word of it beginning again hard luck is’nt it. We have left the big house at last and I was very sorry as I lost my good bed and many other comforts I am back again at the Police Barracks not very sweet I can tell you as we have snow &amp; plenty cold just now. I hope to get some news from you soon so au revoir&#13;
Love from Dodo</text>
