 5.7.16 Dear Kitty I am sorry I cannot give you more information, but I do know that the Ulster division has not suffered so much as two other divisions which were reported as badly cut up — From first hand information the man who gave it me being actually on the spot on the H.Q Staff, I can tell you that General Nugent has won very high praise for the magnificent way he handled his division which did splendidly — They did all that was wanted of them & went further than they needed. And it was owing to the care & judgement of your husband they did so well. You will be glad to hear all the Chiefs are very satisfied with the state of affairs, and everything is most promising. I find it difficult to get away, but if I can, I shall be delighted to come & see you one afternoon if I may. Please don't bother to answer this. Yours v. sincerely Charles W Machan Charles W.
