Scope and content
Letter to Ruth Mallory written from France during the Battle of the Somme, 'Oct 4 6.30am'
Had to go on obervation duty which would be difficult as the line was rather muddled. It had been raining again and everything was in a horrid mess and had stopped operations. The last two days had been very quiet. He was still in his old dug out. Lithgow was with the left half forward position. They should have all been together but the digging hadn’t got on due to firing and wet weather.
Acknowledges receipt of the cake. Had been looking at the photos of Clare again.
