Dear Alfred.  I thought you would like this postcard. Tell the Plunk that they won’t let me go back to London as there are so many girls away on leave and I have to go to Netheravon Cavalry school and drive a Crossley car there, until my car is ready.  Tell her also to send my blouses to Swindon.  348 Coy. MT.ASC. No 2 Wood Street.  Also The eider down and mackintosh to Lidworth to Lidworth with Not to be forwarded on it.  They will send xxx xxxx to me from here to Netheravon.
