1 2 Dec My P.R. What with no letters, an unpleasant day & unsatisfactory work, the b w is a distinctly home-
sick animal. There is again some trouble with the
mails, it is reported that the steamers did not
cross yesterday, & there have been rumours of a
railway accident in France. In any case your
Sunday letter arrived yesterday Wednesday midday
whilst Monday's papers arrived Tuesday night. The mail service seems quite disorganised &
you had better repeat any very important news. Many other rumours are in the air. The corps 2 to which we belong is expected to move shortly
but it seems likely that we shall then be again
transferred to a new corps which may be raised
here so that perhaps we may not have to move. I get a very growly w when I get no letters
& am inclined to snap, but when I say
Goodnight to 2 ladies every night I say to my-
self a letter has been written & will turn up
later with luck. Wouldn't you like to know
the 2 ladies are ? R has decided not to go in for the course.
He is I think making a serious mistake & I
have told him so, but I am not sorry from
a purely personal point of view of course. 3 I shall get into trouble if I don't write
a general letter so no more. I don't know where to send this! Your & the 2 ladies' bw. Notime to write other letter have
to go on long motor trip 4 2 Dec
