Letter: 20/1/142
I hope you receive this letter in quick time, then you will know that Bob and I are together and are all well. You will see our address and will be able to write. We sent cards about 10 days ago. It is great in the tent just now 18 chaps trying to write at once; the trouble is a shortage of pens. We were paid today but the only thing we bought is a tin of nugget between the 4 of us. We have just had a shave, haircut and a hot shower and cleaned our boots and have our battledress so look no different to when we were home. We received a Red Cross parcel each and it was a great thrill.
