Court last Friday. This is one of the big dances of the year. I went to gymnasium.

Last night Bert and I were on stable piquet. We had to be out at barracks here to mount at 5.45 p.m.

We have our sleeping out liberty also the weekends, so it is quite nice. We are still fixing up our quarters. The old ones are now occupied by other troops. The stables are in an awful mess, but are being fixed up.

I am not going out to the Rectory to-night as it get on for 8 o'clock now. The Y.M.C.A. have one of the smaller building for a reading and writing room here. Me for the boards very soon.

Good night dear Mother and family.
