I am very well; plenty to eat, and tobacco. We are in action in a
wood, guns nicely under cover, and we shall be, too, shortly, for it
is getting dark. We have made snug little shelters for ourselves, and
are quite “comfy.” The pot is on the fire, and it won’t be long before
we have a good feed. I hope to be home for Christmas dinner, so have a
good spread: _Bombdr. Earp, Royal Artillery_.
