Dear Lee and folks

Just received cake last night also [?] and candy they are fine and the others think Canada baking is about the best they have had.

I'm in the front in command of Coy for this trip in as the Capt is on leave but will be back in 3 days now he was 14 months here so deserved the 8 days. I have my coy divided into different places and can only visit them at night. So far I have had only 2 casualties. One shot in arm and leg the other only suffering from shock. It would not seem so bad but for that of course they Whizz Bang us but worst they have done is to knock over the dinner and we will try to spoil theirs for that. Weather beautiful.

Love to all
Alex
