Transcript:
Another reason why I did not write was that I hoped for leave. I have had none, and don't see much chance of ever getting it unless I get sick leave after being discharged from hospital.
There is very little chance of getting home, I think, with my complaint, which is principally skin trouble, brought on by the dirty conditions up the line.
It is taking a long time to curb.
It is a blessing that that awful cold weather is over. Thirty three degrees of [pist?] in the trenches is no joke.
I hope you are keeping fit. Give my live to your mother.
Your affec. friend,
Angus
