Dear Bob. I just thought I would write a few lines to say hello now that I am back. I have just been north on six days leave and I believe me I was going some all the time. I saw pretty nearly every body I knew that was at home. Leave started Thursday at reveille but it was noon before we got the train and we were in London about 2 o'clock. We stayed there until 11.15 pm knocking around eating and taking in the sights ( believe me we made up for the meals we lost since we left ) Well we had an alnight trip in the train, and you know what that is, up to Inverness. As soon as we hit Scotland & until I left we were welcomed everywhere. Ladies were at all the stations with sandwiches and coffee, god stuff too. I was in Inverness

Dear Bob. I just thought I would write a few lines to say hello now that I am back. I have just been north on six days leave and I believe me I was going some all the time.
