Dear Mary,
Thanks very much for your letter containing £1 which I received this morning. I never expected you to send me money you know & really I was not giving you any hints but thanks all the same and I wont forget about it when I will get some money. Well I am getting on alright now. I am out of bed today so may get out in a day or two. It is a good job you did not come down yesterday as you would not have got in without a pass. I am sending you on the pass & you can see for yourself the visiting days & hours etc. and I will be to pleased to see somebody I know.
It is a pity I did not get to Edinburgh but I can’t grumble as long as I got to Scotland.
I had a letter from mother this morning nothing much doing at home.
It is funny the way letters go. I sent one to you & Nellie also one home & another to London all at once. I got a reply from Nellie (H) & from London two days ago.
When I go to convalescence I may get to Bangour (not very sure of the spelling) which is only ten miles or so from Edinburgh, so I might be able to get a pass to see you, but I am not going to make any arrangements just now. I don’t think there is anything more I can say. Isn’t it sad about Bobbie Campbell.
Write soon again Love Dodo
