<salute>Dearest Papa</salute>
<p>Thank you so much for your letter and for
<lb/>the nice packet of sweets, it was good of you to
<lb/>send them. When are you going to have some
<lb/>business in London? I should like to have a
<lb/>glimpse of you again. My seven months will
<lb/>soon be up now and all those who are not
<lb/>signing on again have to give in their names be-
<lb/>fore the 15<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> of this month. I think they should
<lb/>give us a holiday in between, but see no chance
<lb/>of getting one. We are now to get at least
<lb/>£2 a month, (probably more) government allowance
<lb/>which is <unclear>over</unclear> from our keep, as well as
<lb/>an £20 pay, so I think we are very lucky
<lb/>in that way, the advantage of being under
<lb/>the war office, as I don't think ordinary <gap/>
<lb/>in civil hospitals get any pay at all, or very
<lb/>little.</p><pb/>
