Stationed at: Codford
30.1.1918
Dear Mac Just a line or two to let you know I am doing OK but as far as I can see am just about booked for France again but am swinging the lead for all I am worth but am afraid the string will break one of these days. One way I don’t want to go back but I think after all I would just as soon be with the other three. I can tell you I miss old Harry some & I reckon he will miss me but the trouble is to get back to the same unit again. Have not got that revolver yet to tell the truth. I don’t want to have to go over again but you never know
