but he shall have the benefit of it when he comes back.
There is great joy in firdes??? that Beauehamp Dufi has gone. It is said that he has been sitting with his boxes packed for months. He was rather an old woman, I understand. He doesn't affect us very much except very indirectly.
I saw Gaussen was killed. The Burney is no "Burneys son". It is another Johns??? man. He was up with me. Burney??? had a son but he is hardly fighting age yet as he is only 3 or 4!
You say in this letter that "Alf" Plane??? has gone under. I had an idea he was a L/cpl in this battalion. We have a Place and I thought it was Alfred. I must loop up his initials.
I remember Gladys Dumblton quite well, as a "handful", and Aunie??? Lamboune??? was little better. It seems funny to hear of these girls getting married!
I was very surprised to hear of Aunt Lizzie going to Sr. Andras???.
I haven't heard from Dickey lately I must write to him again.
Thank you very much for the Whitelup??? cakes Mother. They will arrive about 12 days hence I expect i.e. just about the 23rd or 7wl???. I seemed about??? to have forgotten I had a birthday until you reminded me of it! It is surprising how mes??? interest in those things fades!
