FOR CORRESPONDENCE.

Just heard there
is a mail for home.
There is sure to be
another one shortly.
Have had no mails
from Arno. this month.
Everything is going
along well. The
weather is beautifully
mild. I don't think
it will be as cold sleeping
out as the last place.
We ought to get a mail
this week.
Saturday I posted.

FOR CORRESPONDENCE

A letter to Mother, [[Fae & also]]  to Lindsy 
as well as a short note to you from which 
you may be able to gather that all is well
This Censorship [[is]] maddening. Everything
I want to say I can't put in & then
what I could write I don't want to on
a postcard or letter that will be read by 
censor officials.
It will be a glorious day when the next 
mail comes along although it is
only a fortnight since the last.
Still we are waiting for it anxiously.
How many days did you have in Feb,
over a hundred?
When we once get clear of the censor there
are thousands of things I will have to tell
you. The troops are all in very good health.
I think I will have to extend that [[biscuit?]]
of May until June though there is still
a chance.  They don't seem in any great
hurry to finish it off.  Perhaps things
will move quicker at the beginning of 
[[?]]. I am in splendid health.  Not
[[?]] wrong with me.  Tom

Carte postale Universelle.

Just a line to tell you
all is well & that a possible
opportunity has arrived
to post No18 which if
our luck is in should
reach you about the same
time as this card.
Dont expect to move
for 3 weeks or so.
Still doing a bit of rowing
about the harbour. When
we move expect an easy
job. And in tip top health
in spite of a lack of vegetables.
