Dear Mrs. Sinclair,

I received a letter from Bill this afternoon with 2, 5 franc notes
enclosed. He informs me to send one of them on to you, so here it is. I
don't understand the roundabout way of your getting it but there will be
method in their madness I suppose.

They seem to have moved nearer the coast and are waiting for something to
happen. It is a rotten time for everybody at present worrying about their
own boys. I hope Peter and Bill manage to stick together and come back
soon.

I just wish I could see Bill before they move but it seems pretty
hopeless.

The next time I meet you at a station, let's hope it is a homecoming and
Armistice.

Yours sincerely

May Kirkland
