Dear Mary,
I am sorry in being so long in answering your letter but I thought of sending you a photo by this letter but sorry cant be done They wont be finished for a week or two yet. I only got one (proof) and that one I sent to a nice friend somewhere in England (London) She is a (oh I have let it out) nice one Scotch to I have not written Juliette since a good while now. She was very nice too. I see you are making up your mind to get into a bigger hospital. Quiet right too and I hope you will be successful. I don’t know how much longer I will be here but I am expecting to go back to the Batt. We had quite a lot of rain since last night & thunder and it is much cooler now. Oh to be in Ardcharnich just now! But a lot to be done before that I am afraid. Well Mary I have no more nonsense to say tonight so please don’t be so long in answering this time. Love to Phemie & yourself
From your big Brother
Dodo
