Dear Mother
I have
not written lately as often as I should have on account of trying to get that
put through for VV and was just informed today that it is impossible. However one year won't make a great deal of
difference. I wrote a while ago saying
that I would be able to do so and I am more sorry than any of you to find it an
impossibility.
You
were saying that Dad and Albert don’t get along extra well. If you remember in one of my letters before
you left Holland I said that I did not think they would.
Things
here are very quiet just at present, there being practically no wounded at all
coming but in this branch of the service a person never knows when the hospital
may be filled in a moments notice.
A few
of our boys from here have transferred into regiments in the trenches but as
yet I am right here. In the trench the
lead is flying around to freely to suit me but
of course if I was ordered up there I go with a good heart to get as
many possible before they got me.
Say
Mother you all seem to be down on Ina and think she is tough well don’t convict
her till you get more than the Richmond family evidence. Of course she may travel in society that I
surely would not want VV to be in but never the less she is the best by far of
that family and I have saw more of them the last few years than any of us.
Apparently
the kid don’t seem to be in love with her new school and companions Believe me
it is the last year she will have to contend with it and that is the truth.
Well dear Mother I have nothing more to say but cheer
up it a long road that has no turn.
Remember me to Dad and the Kid also to Lavinia and Albert
and hope this finds you in good spirit. I come to a close
With love
Chas
