My dearest wee Mother

It was kind of you to write to me last night, but you mustn't worry about me. I am quite all right now, and mean to be very careful. I am very sorry about old Miss Maclean. She is a shock of corn in full season, but I am

afraid it will be a very great loss for you, wee body.

My little thing on Cecil Rawling is in the "Times" this morning. It is a poor tribute, but I was glad to have the chance of writing it.

I was very busy yesterday, and shall

be the same to-day. Our attack yesterday was very successful. The Canadians are wonderful fighters. I hope the Italians will be able to stand on the Piave, but all that jolly Dolomite country is now lost.

It has been heavy rain in the night, but this morning is fine & clear. Susie & the

children are very well. I had a long time with Carson last night. It is a great pleasure to work with him.

Much love, wee body
