Letter to Ruth Mallory written on 'Friday 29 Dec 1916' on his arrival back in France after his leave
He had made a list in pencil of requirement that he had forgotten to leave with her. He had arrived back early that morning. Men were all really pleased with Xmas Day. They were firing in the morning of Xmas Day so dinner was late - 3pm. There was a continuous session with food and music until midnight.
Mud was worse than when he had left. He had tripped over a wire but saved himself.
He had finished Mr Britling Sees it Through [by H. G. Wells] on the train which was very interesting and he would send it to her to read.
Talks about their time together whilst he was on leave.
He had found her parcel - plums, assorted fruits, ginger, chocolates, tinned turkey, and brawn. The mince pies were greatly appreciated and some mincemeat remained. Chocolate cake had not arrived.
Had to be up early for the Observation Post.
