Dear Lance Corporal,
Your gift came as quite a surprise, if I'm to be honest, but appreciated. Too much in the way of dire news has found its way to me of late. It's nice to hear from you. I've often wondered if you've managed to adapt to the cold nights spent in fox holes. Even for someone accustomed to harsh winters, it's a difficult thing to do.
It would seem we're not too far behind you. The regiment I've fallen in with is moving north from France toward Belgium. Perhaps we'll be meeting again soon. Until then, feel free to write when you can. I shall endeavour to do the same. Stay alert and safe.
Sincerely,
Corporal
