1 13. Dec 15 My letter was rather a poor one.
I'm afraid this slip will not make
amends, but would you mind paying
attached bill for the office. I may have a busy day to-
morrow so only expect a scrap. I enclose Gen Conchmen's
letter which I have answered.
I hope he won't mind my
dictating part of my letter. It is
the only way I can cope with
them sometimes. I am not sending the bill
after all as I can get P/orders
out here I find. Poor F seems to have had a
really bad time . She is certainly
plucky like..... Mater ! for 2 example. If R is coming out here
I must see what I can do for
him but I cannot very well see
him at RouenHarvre, tho' they
will probably not send keep him there
for long. If he goes to the 107th
it will be an additional reason for
his my wishing for its return to us. I believe you count your letters
by their number rather than their
quality like scalps so you will
probably be rather pleased with this
mail so poor in every other respect. What about the family's
flat. Is it off ? Every onesays
small houses are easier to get now.
