Letter to Ruth Mallory written from France during the Battle of the Somme, 'Sept 16 1916'
The battle continued in their favour so far. Was the most exciting day since the bitter disappointment of July 1st. Had been reading Old Mortality during the night watch (expecting a counter attack). Gives his opinion of Walter Scott and his writing.
Asks how she is getting on with Boswell. Recommends reading it straight through for first time and then picking out bits. Recommends different editions.
Explains why the observation post work might be less dangerous as they advance.
Very cold weather. Two cakes had arrived. Asks her to send some fresh butter.
