Letter to Ruth Mallory written from France on 'April 14 1917'
He had seen the doctor about his ankle and it was bandaged to give it support and he would need an operation after the war. He was glad to know what was wrong and that there was a remedy. He hated the present trouble because it was a weakness and a sort of deformity.
They had not received anymore information and if there had been a big success they would have done so. He wasn't happy about that.
Dunbar had had a nasty fall and hurt his knee so the doctor looked at it and he was to be chief nurse in looking after Dunbar.
From today they were going to have to man the observation post from dawn until dusk and were making a little dugout for shelter. They would probably go back to the 48 hour system which was on the whole the best. He thought about pitching his tent in a wood nearby but thought it, or the contents, might be stolen.
Wonders how Mildred and Bob were getting on [in Wales]. Asks if she remembers their time there with David Pye.
The men were trying to find more cellars but they had all been blown up.
Was glad to hear that Mary Ann was going to have a rest and that Ruth would be staying with her. Thought she would enjoy London by way of a change.
Talks about the end of the war and her nervousness about his return.
