1 Nov 30th1915 Dear Katie. I received the Breeches
& Puttees alright this morning.
Unfortunately they are the wrong
ones. You know the riding
Breeches with no strapping
they are partly a Khaki
colour. The Puttees will
hardly do you can get a
good thick pair in Dublin
You can get them where you
got the Numerals & send them
on. It will send back the
others when I get them 2 The sort of thing Picquet
Duty is as follows. We go
on Duty at 4.30 until 6.06
next morning. We have to be
on the watch two hours at
a time minding the Horses
The night I was on duty I
was out from 6.06 until 8.06
&then back again from 12.06 until 2.06
We have to see that nothing
happens the Horses during the
night. It is a lonesome
job. I am glad poor old
Barney is alive still I hope
he lives until I see him
again. I got a letter from Chris
Meehan this morning which
I enclose. He is going on
well thank God. I have
found out the name of the
Col. It is John Harvey
He must be an Irishman
by his name. You can
show Chris Meehans letter
to his mother. John Meehan
is in England still. The
little dog was with me
the night I was on Piquit
Duty he is a nice little fellow
I suppose Paddy goes up
ofter to you I hope he does
