Letter to Ruth Mallory written from France during the Battle of the Somme, 'Oct 22 1916'
Apologises for missing two days before writing as he had been dining with the 109 battery and then unexpectedly been observing. Had received three letters from her and was glad Clare was alright and she was better from her illness. Thanks her for the ginger cake.
It was very cold already and it was still Autumn so asks her to send him two pairs of warm pyjamas, two short woollen drawers (hard to get), two medium woollen vests, two thick flannel shirts, and a face towel.
Was interested in the Arts and Crafts exhibition. Asks if she had been to a private view and wants very much to see it with her.
Had seen Earl who was more depressed and tired than the last time. He disliked the whole business more than most and was in an uncomfortable battery having to use clumsy great ammunition. Earl was delighted to hear about her gift of potpourri.
Lithgow was giving himself a rest so he and Bell were doing most of the observation work which he describes.
