My dear Dodie:
This is to wish you a very merry Xmas etc: I cannot send you any card and there are none available here. Since writing my last mournful letter I have been out on my own for sometime, but was not allowed to do what I wanted to, so I cannot tell you anything at all exciting. I had to watch a harbour and search various places for German submarines, but unfortunately never saw one the whole time. When we left, as we were not escorted, the moment we got out of harbour we became an enemy to our ships as well as to Fritz, and we had a pretty rotten time of it, as it meant diving all day and coming up on the surface to charge at night. On dark nights it was very trying as any
