Dear Dorothy, I received you letter written On the 2nd Nov yesterday morning and was very pleased to hear from you again. I have one from Maisie, one from Frances one from Ilene and one from Aunty Winnie at the same time so am busy replying to them just now. Thanks for the razor blade Dad but don’t bother sending any more now as we can get all we want from our canteen. Good razor blades were hard to get in Syria but we can get plenty now, and I believe they are hard to get in New Zealand at present. So you got the photo of the ambulance alright, well the old moustache is still doing fine and the flies don’t bother it. As a matter of fact there are very few flies about just now, I think the weather is too cold for them at present and what a relief it is to be without the damn things. I have just finished writing home so you
