1st Nov. All Saints’ Day.
Dear Mother
Ever so many thanks for your letter – and all the news. A few more of the family home for this week end.
I have’nt the slightest idea when we are likely to get any leave so I can’t tell Dick very much – Glad he’s having a good time in France-
We had Father Carey over to preach last Sunday. Rosamond’s friend! – he can speak straight enough – if you like.
Yes – one thing about this weather it keeps off the Zepps – we rarely get a decent day here now – and of course we have fires.
I never knew Ted had got the Humane Soc. Medal – I knew there was a movement on foot to get him one. I am pleased to hear it – he certainly deserved it. Rather a good thing I should imagine doing guard at Delhi – a lot of social work attached to it I should imagine – a fine thing for the Regt to be chosen.
Oh. could you make me a “muff” – one like Ben & Dreda used to wear – smallish one – & tied up with big ribbon – I want to wear one with my dress – when I’m acting as a female – must be black.
Any more news when Jim is going out?
With best love to you all
Your ever loving son
Paul
