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 being up the full time. I was the only one in our Sub. So I packed up everything and put 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 Haver Sack. With every blame thing I had. that soap I got in your last parcel. Salve and 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
