my mail has apparently going out to it, so there must be some mine with it. However one of these days it will catch up with me and then I will be to write a better letter to you. How is Corporal Henderson getting on with the Home Guard, it will be a blow if Dad puts me on the mat when I get back home. I have a chap named Harry Bell from the West Coast on the Ambulance as Orderly with me now as Harry Anderson had to go to hospital with Tonsillitis, and he also plays the guitar. Harry Anderson left his guitar with us so we knock out a few tunes together when we have a bit of spare time. Remember me to Frances and Stuart and tell them I will write them another note as soon as I get a chance. Also remember me to Mr and Mrs MacDonald and all those who have been asking how I am
