Le Havre - Friday

Dear Mary
I received your letter last night and I must say there was not much news in it but I will put it down as being too busy etc. However I have not much to say myself. Did Phemie answer that letter from Simmone yet? I had one from her last night and she told me she wrote Phemie & Nellie and was longing to get an answer. So I hope Phemie has answered it Tell Phemie to send me the letter. I have settled down a bit here now but am not half as content as at Calais or half so well of in many ways. But I cannot tell you everything as making complaints about food etc are forbidden however you have a hint of it there. The Captain is still in a hotel and I have very little to do. Finished at 8am and it is not a bit pleasant to sit in these huts all day and I have no other place to go to but the YMCA & soldiers Club and one gets tired of that also. We have very wet weather just now raining continually just like last year and I know it cant be very pleasant in the trenches. Dingwall must be a terrible bore just now with nobody in it. Is nurse Davidson still with you? Tell her I was asking for her. I wish you could get a new Glengarry for me. Do try! and I will send you a Christmas card a bonnie one but I cannot send you sweeties you know. Hope you will write me a longer letter next time & dont forget the cap, if possible

With love From Dodo.
