Letter to Ruth Mallory written from France on 'March 9 1917'
Was spending two days at the observation post where it had snowed and describes his work and a small attack they made which the Germans didn’t respond to.
He had a wakeful night, not because he was cold as he had his sleeping bag, but because he wanted the signallers to go out on the line at first light and he was worried they wouldn’t wake in time. He got up before sunrise and it was a very pretty morning.
A party had just arrived with rations, water, 2 miles of wire, which they would have to lay tonight, and a letter from her. He agrees about ‘Diana’ which was not one of his best and tiresomely clever. His servant was with him although he had little to do except wash up his plate and frying pan as he didn’t wash and shave up there and he slept in this clothes. He was glad he was there though.
Wished she was there but she might complain of cold feet and they would rub each others feet. He was feeling very cheerful and full of energy which was a good thing as he expected a very dark, cold night ahead.
