Dear Folks,

I wrote to you yesterday but our gun went out of Action yesterday and was pulled out. So I was being sent to horse lines for a few days rest. just those bring up the full time. I was the only one in our Sub. So I packed up everything and pit it out to go down. and when I came to put it on the rig. Some body had helped him self to my Kit bag. or rather Hover Sack. With every blame thing I had. that soap I got in your last parcel. Salve an everything. My whole shaving kit. All my souveniers, including those napkin rings I had made for you. that glass Hutch gave me. they sure cleaned me out. I got a Razor and brush from the Q.M. to day, but you know how good issue razors are. So please send me. I think and Auto Strap is best because I can sharpen the blades and will not need to have so many sent out. also a brush. as small as you can get an other can of salve. Oh yes and a pocket flash light Maby the one I had is around there. It was a good one. We need them on the Guns. as you can’t keep
