My dear Dodie;
very many thanks for your letter of the 15th september, I am sorry that you should have been put to the trouble of writing to tha Admiralty. You say that you have not yet got my photograph, so i am sending you off another today and hope that this one will fetch up. I have not got yours yet, but i suppose that it will turn up someday.
I have been talking to a C anadian here who is very strong on the prohibiton business, he was quite interesting but had a remarkably narrow mind, he thinks that it will come in all through Canada and will hold good after the war is over. I do not understand what you say about that Bill having passed before the soldiers votes had come in, can they cancell it when they get the votes in or is it only passed conditionly? It seems to me ,being very ignorant about politics,a rather comic way of running things.
We are in a glorious place now, it has lovely olive groves and woods of larches,absolutely land locked, in fact and ideal place to spend the winter in from our point of view. It is such a relief to see a bit of green again after all the sun- dried places we have been to and the walks are very pretty. Things seem to be looking quote good at the front now, it is good to see Fritz being hustled by us for a change: he does not seem to like the tanks at all. I think thatthe Russians will get a move on this winter on the Dobrudja front, but I suppose that that part of the front does not interest you at all, to my mind it is the most interesting part of the
