[14 November 1915]

Dont bother about gum-boots if you havent got them yet, It may be easier & quicker for me either to get them here or send to Dublin Im pretty sure letters to you go via London I hope Ill hear from you tomorrow and that your duties though probably arduous enough are not uncongenial
Everything continues well owing to rains not much doing. Both sides are having the divil of a time with water in the trenches. I have not been up yet but would like to see them. Its hard to get in with the water
Lovingly Pat
