Letter to Ruth Mallory written from Avington Park Camp, Winchester
Gives her Reade’s address. Comments on the timing of when the post arrives. He had found his pouch which was in his suitcase.
He had been watching horses being groomed, counted them and got them into line for inspection where they were inspected by a team of veterinary officers. Comments on how little there was to do in the camp. Had met an officer on a horse and had gone for canter which he had enjoyed.
Asks her to deal with the rolls of film and prepare a complete set of prints for Frances Gordon.
Had written to Courtney but he was with a battery in Macedonia. His parents had invited him to visit.
Thought he would bathe at Gunner’s Hole after evensong in the cathedral.
