Dear Celia;-

I am writing to let you know we are leaving here either to-night or in the morning. I don't know for sure yet where we go but am reasonably sure of it being England. I will write as soon as I get settled. Tell the rest of them. There is about fifty of us in a big tent to-night. The tents are all struck and it looks funny. Excuse the pencil.

Yours in Haste.
Keith
