I hope you will excuse me for not writing to thank you for the nice parcel and letter received some time back but I have been kept so busy since I transfered to the Artillery that I have not had time to breathe. Your parcel was very much appreciated and it does cheer us up when we come in at night, after a hard days work, to find a parcel on the table. | I hope you will excuse me for not writing to thank you for the nice parcel and letter received some time back but I have been kept so busy since I transfered to the Artillery that I have not had time to breathe.

We have been expecting to move to France for the last month or two and we get a scare about once a week. Every time we go out in "Full Marching Order" we are told that we will not come back to camp but each time we have managed to do so. | We have been expecting to move to France for the last month or two and we get a scare about once a week.

Witley Camp, May 15th 1917.
Dear Miss Russell: -
I hope you will excuse me for not writing to thank you for the nice parcel and letter received some time back but I have been kept so busy since I transfered to the Artillery that I have not had time to breathe. Your parcel was very much appreciated and it does cheer us up when we come in at night, after a hard days work, to find a parcel on the table.
We have been expecting to move to France for the last month or two and we get a scare about once a week. Every time we go out in "Full Marching Order" we are told that we will not come back to camp but each time we have managed to do so.
I sure prefer the Artillery to the Infantry although I have to work a hundred times harder.
