Dear Marie,
Just two or three lines from this desolate hole. I got here between 9 & 10 on Wed night and had to walk four miles from the station carrying my luggage. I was in Dingwall until near seven pm making myself a general nuisance you know. It has been nice & fine since I came here just my luck. I am all dressed up and nowhere to go wish I was at Edinburgh again. I was in Ullapool on Tuesday nothing much doing there. I dont think I will be very long here No news as yet
Write soon Love from Dodd
