Dear Mary & Marguerite

You folk will have quite a few letters from me by this time why couldnt you have written a letter or two more I do look for letters. I asked you to write more in Bordon. here in this place more than ever. We are getting in shape to be in France in 4 weeks & be in the trenches in 5 weeks. this job that I have my name in for, has not been called out yet but I here 11 men have gone from the 103 B I have sores under my arms & legs for a few days which smart so I am smart in some things. having musketry put to us very strong these days some of the boys from Paris had word about Fraser a week or so before. it will be a heavy time for your cousin Mary. it is a shame how dear living is getting over there even. I will try and go to London again in 3 weeks or so for my next leave would like to see thoes 3 hundred foot airships they have just built. I wish you would open up and say what you think of the War and Me & how you would like things to work out. these officers [?] want to show what they can do with a bunch of men & get back home quick. I want to get home I do not want to be pushing up Daisies and let the kidds get kicked around by other folks. I can kick just as good. hope I get another letter soon. Marguerite that was a great letter a peach you and the other make up a lot to put in another
