"Ye Dark Lantern Bivouac,"

August 24, 1915

Dear Mabel,

The bright coloured, well patched, not well done up jersey arrived at 7:04 pm this day.

Sincerely, Charles.

P.S. Has Wilfred Brookhouse offered his services for King and country or is it only rumour?

P.P.S. I am tired, sleepy, hungry and lonesome so will go to sleep just for fun.
