Letter: from Richard Dillingham at RFC Camp, [France] to Christine Dillingham at Kings Road, Flitwick - writer is getting on fairly well in the camp but longing for the time when he can go back home and "this miserable business is all over"; - comments it feels a very long time since he last heard from her; - notes that he went to a concert at the YMCA Hut which was packed and just managed to get a seat, "It was a jolly good show and I think most of the fellows thoroughly enjoyed it"; - runs through his daily routine; - has received instruction on putting on and wearing a gas mask and then taken into a building with some gas to see if it fitted; - notes he has had a bath and has washed his dirty clothes; - asks how she is getting on with the garden, and whether she has dug the potatoes and if she has enough green stuff to last the winter?; - asks how the boys are getting on and do they still go to see Mrs Fowler?; - asks do you see much of next door now? "I expect she will have plenty to say about things now";
