Revd Sir,

            Having a few minutes to spare I will send a short note.

I like my new work in the Orderly Room very much, there is quite a variety of work to do, the office hours I put in are from 9/30 in the morning to 10 o’clock and sometimes later at night, with one hour and a half for Dinner and Tea, so you will see that I do not get much fresh air.

Occasionally I manage to go out short distances for a little blow.

I was pleased to read in the paper your appointment as Chaplain to the “Citizens Corps”,  I also heard that my father was introduced to you.

Yesterday we woke up to find a white country, but later on it came on to rain very heavy and so it soon disappeared, but it was quite sufficient to give the troops a holiday.

Things are quiet with us now, there does not seem any chance of us moving just yet, although surprises come often.

I heard that the Mens Service had their Prize Distribution the other Sunday, I should liked to have been present.

Must now close with kind regards to Mrs Walters and yourself.

            Yours obediently

Albert Will

P.S. If you have a spare copy of our Annual Report, I should very much like one.

There is no envelope with this letter.
