Do you know I believe I passed her in the street of Folkestone when I was last on leave but it was only a flash past & she was gone before I could speak. I should like to write to her mother but do not know the address. I shall try Myra's which I have. It is good to hear of painting Gipsy & [illegible] ought to be painted (not varnished) if you can get Tait to do it & charging it to my a/c. No doubt you have had a look through the sails & gear to see that they are all right.
I hope you use the boat if you want to. My address is now 2nd Cdn Div Hqrs France. Please spread it round for I may forget to mention it when writing to others.
Just now the Bn Hqrs P.O. is near Divn so my batman can get my letters every day
