Téléphone 2.90 Begin a letter here tho' with much doubt as to
whether it will reach you. We had an excellent passage but were disappointed to find
that there has been a sudden change of plans so instead of
cominggoing out on Motor busses as arranged we are to take
a train at midnight after waiting 12 hours & to go to Amiens
& then change & go to another place & again change & arrive
at our destination at 10 tomorrow perhaps. I hear that owing either to a German attack or to ours we
cannot go to the original place intended. Owing to this long journey round I do not expect we
shall get back before the 10pm boat Friday & consequently shall
not come on. If we catch the 4.30 pm poboat I hope the
General will motor straight down An airship accompanied us all the way in crossing
& about half the channel appeared to be netted. I could not gather
on what principle. Arrived at destination about 4pm on extreme
R of British Line — rather an unnecessary long way
to send us perhaps but fairly interesting. 2 I came with General in motor I do not think there is any chance of being
back Friday night owing to various mistakes but hope
to be back Saturday. I will not add more except "10pm" is
not forgotten nor a little PR Wilfrid BS.
