            <text>Dear Marie,&#13;
	I don’t know what you will be thinking of me this time in being so long in answering your last letter, but I can only aplogise and try &amp; write one now although I can’t give you much news but just as usual that I am going strong but having an awful rough time of it with toothache, nearly driving me of my rocker. We are in the line continually &amp; have long spells in the trenches. The weather is very good just now in fact it is too good for March but I suppose we will have to take what will come Dounie has been in to see me tonight and was giving me all the home news. I had a letter from Cousin Nell tonight and she says I have got to spend a week in [illegible] when I go home next and I may do so as I will have a month’s leave next time but I don’t know when that will be May or June at anyrate. Well in another two days I will have my fourth birthday in France &amp; I hope it will be the last in it. &#13;
So you are kept hard at work but never mind Mary stick it and your reward will come sometime. I dont think there is anything more to say so excuse my long delay &amp; write soon &#13;
						Love from Doddo</text>
