Dear Marie,
Just a short letter in reply to yours received two nights ago. I thought you had put me down as dead when I was getting no word from you. Little Nellie & mother are my best correspondents as for Di she is worse than you now and that is bad enough I know I am bad myself but you cant expect me to write letters in this fighting We just came down two days ago but never know when we may be rushed into it again. There is only one way of getting out of this now & I dont mind how soon it comes. You are thinking of joining the WAAC but don’t be silly. Take my advice & have nothing to do with them & stick to what you are at. There is no chance of getting a leave just now. Don’t be long in writing again
Love from Dodo
