Letter to Ruth Mallory written from France, 'Dec 6 1916'
It was almost lunch time and he was just up as he had a beastly cold. He had felt feverish when he played Bridge with Platnauer and then he had been out with the sergeant major in the motor lorry to get supplies which was a slow business. He went to bed early and took two vegetable laxative pills and was feeling better.
Bell went off yesterday in very high spirits. He would get a few days at home before his course began. Was surprised to hear that Ralph wasn’t coming out for a time before commanding a battery. Dunbar was staying there for his week as battery commander. Lithgow was in Amiens today.
Asks what ‘political thunderbolt’ means, that Lloyd George wants to get rid of Balfour or Asquith?
Earl was going home as his kidney weakness had been giving him a lot of trouble.
