Dear Mary,
I received your letter two nights ago & also the hose tops sometime before that. They are very nice & please thank the one that made them. I have a pair of breeches [illegible] but [illegible] have to wear the kilt anytime. About the shoulder plates the word Seaforth is alright & send them on when you can. I am glad to see that you seem to like your work alright & I hope you will continue to do so. Thanks for the description of your work you will soon get into the way of it I suppose. Do you get good feeding? What do you think of the town of Dingwall better than Ullapool isn’t it? I wish I was as near home as Dingwall just now. I would like fine to go to Lochbroom just now for a few days but no such luck only men that never go near the firing line that get furlough & no word word of us poor chaps that have been in trenches all winter & never got home since August & I count myself lucky in being here. We have very warm weather just now & I am jolly glad I am out of the trenches as I know it wont be very nice. See if you can get a photo of yourself that you can send me until I see if you have grown a bit. I have nothing new to tell you so write when you can & don’t forget the plates.
Tata love from Dodo
