Same old tale in the paper. No definite news, except that our troops are holding their own & keeping back the enemy.

Had a letter from Reginald, who is at Brokenhurst. He has seen a good many soldiers.

In every paper are more & more appeals for warm clothes for the soldiers & also for sailors. In the afternoon, Mrs and Miss Eales came over from Lewannick, a fine drizzle also came.

Father yesterday spent the afternoon at Trengwainton “Trengwainton” . Mrs Robins Bolitho told him that Donald Cameron is at the front with his Regiment, The Cameron Highlanders. He married Cicely Bolitho in the spring. He has written to Mrs Bolitho, & said that the fighting was fearful, but that their food supplies were plentiful & their letters came with great regularity.
