Dear Marie,
Thanks for letter received two nights ago glad to see you are kicking along alright although worked so hard. My word you nurses cant be pleased. Fancy kicking against Miss Cross “The dear old thing” you will soon be kicking herself. You would require some of the army discipline to keep you kids in order but cheerio better days coming. I have just finished attending a Gas School which gives me rather a responsible duty in the Coy. By the way I dont know if I told you in my last letter that I am L/CPL instead of PTE. I am afraid I will be home too soon for your holidays if they will be as late as Xmas but I don’t know yet. I will have to take mine when I get them you know but if you are both there perhaps I will spend a night in Dingwall if I can get a bed but I am not going to make any plans as yet. Yes I would like to see photos of the [illegible] so send them out next letter. We have dry frosty weather just now & very cold at nights. No more just now so write soon
Love from Doddo
