Dear Clare

Just a p c of our Camp.

This is dinner time (noon) and we have been going strong since 5am. We walked 5 miles before breakfast, and have been drilling ever since. If you happen to make an extra good cake, currant preferred, just send it along, and we will share our opinion upon it, and if you can clear any of the curates shortbread send that too. I think we will get our uniforms this after. [?] Wellington, [?]. Well Clare keep your pecker up and keep smiling. Stan
