Scope and content

[On the train.]—(16th.) Thanks her for a food parcel. They left Nitshill [Glasgow] this evening and expect to arrive at Swindon in the morning.—(17th.) The journey is comfortable. In a few weeks they will probably be put in billets instead of tents.

[Crowdy’s Hill Camp, Cricklade Road, Swindon.]—The new camp is an improvement on Nitshill. Does not yet know what their work will be, but it will probably be something on the railways. His new tent-mates are ‘a queer crowd’. Asks her to arrange for his watch to be repaired. Is glad that Colin has passed his ‘viva’, and was interested to hear that he had dined with Mr [A. S. F.] Gow.
