Witley Camp

Surrey Eng.

My darling mother, father + Carrie

               Received Carrie’s letter this morning just before church parade and it sure was a shinning light. I thought the snaps were pretty jake.

               I can understand now why everyone is raving about our new home. It is sure a daisy. Just at present I am looking at the outside and was wondering who shovelled the snow off the sidewalk. Now I am looking at the one entitled The North End of the Living Room and I’d like to sneak up behind you and give you all a great big hug + kiss. I can also see a picture of yours truly on the mantle place and everything there looks comfy + cozy. I am also wondering what mother is knitting. I am now looking at the one in the dining room where I can see Edna, Harry, Jean + Mr. Sangster, Carrie + Dad. Tell Mother its too bad I cannot see here and I do not know the dark young lady in the far corner. I’d just like to freeze on one of the apples I can see on the table. I think the rooms are very artistically decorated. Not too much furniture but enough to look like a model. It is now The South East Corner of the Living Room and I think it is perfect of Mother + Dad.

               Dining room is absolutely ripping. The living room is the same and I can distinctly see Murray + my-self sitting on the mantle piece. The corner of Carrie’s room is scrumptious. Someday I’ll give you a detailed description of a bedroom in the Harmy as they call it over “ere”.

               I finished my course at Bordon last Friday + was told by the Commandant that I had passed very well on every subject so I am pretty well pleased. I came up in a transport Sat. and was glad to see old Mur, he was looking “Right-O” and is feeling the same.

               I was at Church Parade to-day and a parade is some different here than it was at the school. Murray put in for a pass for me + next Friday we expect to be on our way to Scotland for a wee holiday.

               Well dears there is not any more I can think of. I am feeling fine and hoping you are all feeling the same. Remember me to all dears

               With Bestest Love
