My dear Dodie,
You are a dear to write me such a splendid letter, a long way the most interesting letter I have received since I left you all. You have no idea how I loved hearing about everyone and everything. I wrote you a dull effort about a month ago, and there is nothing really that one can tell you of interest. The whole thing is so unpleasant; the weather is horrible, the country d-d [I presume that this is how a polite gentleman indicates the word damned when writing to a lady] dull and the women (what few there are) dirty and hideous, what could be worse? I don't think Jim Fell could have got your letter, as otherwise I am sure he would have written; I have not seen him for about 3 weeks
