My dearest wee Mother

This is an awful day of snow & slush. It is such a pity, when our big battle is on. The battle is going very well. I went in to see the Senior Staff last night & they were jubilant. I wish we could hear if the old laddie is all right & if his

division was in. They have no information yet at the War Office.

I got your kind letter last night. I hope your days in Glasgow will give you a rest & I do hope you will get the wart on your eye removed. Give my love to Miss Maclean.

I am as desperately busy as ever,

my whole day for many days ahead being a mosaic of engagements, But I am very well. I have left off going to my masseur, but do the exercises he taught me every morning.

Fred Oliver came to dine last night. He is coming to work under me.

Susie & the children are very well. Mr John is very thin, and I am glad they are

soon going to the country.

Russia is in an anxious position. We are in the heart of the big crisis of the war now.

Please remember to send me a list of U.F. ministers.

Much love to all
