 Lenan Head Fort Clonmany Co. Donegal Monday Dear Mother, Just a line before post goes. I am much disgusted that my leave is I'm afraid strafed. I rang up the hotel yesterday but owing to the line between here and the Dunree exchange being in bad order and the idiocy of whoever Miss Earl or whoever was at the other end I didn't get much through. I may possibly still get fromTues and in any case hope to have between the the morning and evening mail on Thursday. I am going to Beshill for a seige course and even when that's finished I expect I shall be a good time in England so may get leave later in the summer when the weather's better. Nothing much to report from here. The two infantry officers turned out very nice — one particularly nice but after five days they both got orders for the front. Now I must stop for post. I hope at any rate to be with you on Thursday morning. Much love from your loving son Charles Mrs a. a. Wynne The Cottage Glendalough Co.
