Letter to Ruth Mallory written from 14 Royal Terrace, Weymouth
His weekends would be free and there was plenty of good country for her – he liked the looks of the east side of Dorchester.
There were 14 in the house all feeding together and 100 in the drawing room. He was sharing his bedroom with another man who looked a quiet, gentle sort. The folk at the Barracks looked very nice especially Clarke who knew Ralph Brooke [his brother in law]. Usual questions this time from a Colonel assuming he was a child of 17. There was a group of Irish from Dublin University who would probably be amusing.
Was glad he would have to search for rooms for her at the weekend as there was nothing else to do. Then there would be lectures, lectures, lectures and for fresh air gun drill.
He would write as soon as he had seen some places nearby - he liked the sound of Todpuddle, Tincleton and Little Bredy.
