\nDear Gorrie
\nIt is now almost certain that I will be coming home shortly, and it is possible that I will leave in a few weeks. Dont send any more papers or parcels after getting this. They tell me that I can get any parcels that are on the road sent onto Norman in France. The Gov will let you know when I am leaving, so that you will hear a long time before you get this if I get away early. You will probably be surprised to hear that I am coming home and I thought myself that I would be in France by this, but it seems I am not as fit as I thought. This is the prettiest town I have seen in England. There are white beaches at the foot of high cliffs and everything is well laid out. There is plenty food and nothing to do<\/span><\/a> and any amount of amusment. I have not heard from Mack lately, and I think he must be having his draft leave. Neil was in the hospital with slight bronchitis and Norman was up near the line the last I heard from them.<\/p>\n
