I am ashamed to write to you now Mary, after such a long delay. I suppose you had given up all hope of hearing from me again, but I have been on pass for two weeks now, going back tomorrow so I made up my mind that I would get it written while I am here, I never seem to get time to answer all my correspondence when I am in France. You know it always seemed so hard to write cheerful letters after the Passchendaele scrap and I never like to write letters that seem too dry, all the news I could think of then was about old pals and you would see that in the casualty list anyway. I am the only one left on the fighting strength now of the seven who were in the same tent at Borden.
