April 1916.

Dear Mother.   V. many thanks for your letter and all the news – must have been lovely having so many at home for Easter – & the weather was so nice too. We were fairly busy all the time – but are having a little rest now.

Dreda told me you were going to ask Nell up – but she did’nt think she could come on account of the hospital work – am awfully glad she was able to. Fancy starting tennis now – seems so cold as yet – but then we always did start early-ish.

Things seem to be getting rather exciting as regards the war – there’s a feeling as if something is going to happen soon – well I hope so.

Awfully little news that I can tell you.

Very best love to you all

Your ever loving son

Paul
