France March 7/16

Dear Frank

Your welcome P. C. just to hand of 27th/11/16 I had one from you about two weeks ago and I answered, enclosing the Nos of all the Boys (out here) of the old section. I hope you got it O.K. No I have not received the Parcel you mention nor the letter. I am still in the Grenade Coy as is Brewer, Findley, & Collison. Spot is now in the M.G.

My Sister told me quite a long time ago that She was about to write to Mrs Swannell so I guess her letter must have gone astray I am sorry if that is the case, will ask Her next time I write. Had a fine Snowfall last night about 3 inches & we had a battle-royal today with Snowballs hoping this finds you O.K. as is everyone here.

Yours truly 77102 J. Bennett Grenade Coy
