My darling Lola

No letters or papers from you for some days. I hope you are well and happy. We are still in rest camp having an easy time but I expect we will soon be back in the thick of it. I only hope that they don't send us back where we were before it was too hot for words; I hear that the Prussian guard tried to get through just after we left and was cut to pieces.

I hear that a lot of territorials are coming out now which will give us an easier time.

Please write often, it is easy for you. With heaps of love and kisses Yours ever Lobby
