Dear Mary,&#13;
I received your letter a few days ago (sorry pen is no use). Well I must now admit that I have failed terribly in letter writing and I cant explain it either. When I sit down to write a letter now I don’t feel the same confidence in myself at all and I usually chew my pencil half an hour or so. Your own last letter was really not so bad. Of course it took up some of your paper telling me off which of course I can stand from a more dangerouse person than a little nursie. I hope you have not got the fever or it may knock you up a bit. Well I am not half so content this weather. The barrack rules are so very strict and many other things Since the last week I have been fairly useless with toothache neuralgia just the same as when I was at home last if anything worse could not even write a letter I had a bad spell of it today &amp; it is throbbing a bit just now. We have very warm dry weather since the last week a nice change. I see they had rough times of it in England. Well the cinema is going to start now so I will have to stop as there is no light. See and write me soon. Tata with love from Dodo</text>
