Dear Vicar,
Thank you ever so much for yr kind note & ****** Easter card which I think is v beautiful also for your kind wishes. We are still in the same billets but working v hard as now that the ground is drying we are expecting to have to move to the front at any moment & I am afraid the Cavalry will have a v warm time if ever the German line is broken. I am afraid it will be a long time before I get leave again as all leave has been stopped since the 28 of Feb. The weather here is dry with cold East winds & frost at night.
With the dearest regards to Mrs Walters self & kiddies.
V sincerely yrs
Holley Burkitt
