Dear M.

I was surprised though delighted , to receive your last letter dated 13th and I am sending this off by return post. Yes it takes 3 days for your letters to come, but only 1 or 2 for mine to go home. I sketched this while waiting to fall in with draft for front, so will send you letter later on. Albert
