My Dear Da
I am truly thankful to you for your parcel; it is full of the things I want, and will keep me going for a long time, for two weeks at least, so please don't let any of the family repeat it for a time.
I can't write longer; please wait for my circular letters. We are in the trenches longer than we thought.
Everyone is agreed we did much better work than the Coldstreamers on February 1st, and so we are rather disappointed with French's despatch; but it is good enough, and more is coming in the next. I am enjoying the life thoroughly.
Love to R. and to the two Davids.
TOM ALLEN
I send a birthday present to R (then aged 4). Tell him I'm glad that he's saying prayers for me.
