Scope and content
Letter to Ruth Mallory written from France during the Battle of the Somme
Had met a Carthusian called Chamier who had been a member of his old modern sixth and was a particularly nice boy.
Yesterday started in mist and rain and he had done drearily in the mud to a half way house (old German dugout) to wait on the weather.
When he got to the trench he expected it to be half full of liquid mud but the Infantry had cleared the wort of it. No shelling of them all day. Platnauer arrived just as he was turning in. They talked for a bit and then he asked him to dinner. Had celebrated Casey’s 21st birthday.
