full riding equipment and I have been
doing quite little horse back riding.
After riding the first time l nearly had
TO take my meals off the mantle and
when I walked l was so stiff / looked
about as happy as a classical dance
Last week we had quite a little drill
with gas masks and III say they are
awkward to wear al first but then you
soon get used to them. We have TO be
eble 10 put them on in six seconds.
One night they took us out to a line of
trenches and when we least expected
it some one yelled GAS and they set
charge Of tear gas off. It didn't take
long TO get the masks on and was good
experience as it gives US confidence
in the respirator
I am enclosing two dollars and I wish
you would have some flowers sent out
TO my mother on mothers day (next
Sunday. II you can't get carnations
why most anything will do. I don't
know how expensive flowers are. but
get what you can for the money. Also
please put in a card for me and I'll be
very grateful for the kindness and
trouble.
