1 2pm 27/9/17 My dearest Mamy Well here I am back with the
battalion and they are still out resting
and in the same place that they went to
the day I left them. I had a very
comfortable journey all the way and
no delays anywhere. I went to see
Mr. & Mrs. Davison last night about
8pm and stayed chatting until 10. The are most delightful people
and were delighted to see me. They
had not got Daddy's letter up to
the time I was there but I knew that
would be so. I was not rough
enough crossing for me to make
any money in the way I said I hoped
to. You remember what that was. The sandwiches came in very
handy and also the apples and 2 pears. I met an officer I knew at
Kingstown and was with him all
the time till I got to France but then
he had to go by a different train. The partridge are in perfect order
and we are going to have them for
dinner tonight. There are no
changes whatever in the battalion
since I left. This is quite a decent village
and the billets very good indeed.
We may be here for quite a
time yet. I see another attack started
yesterday but there are no
particulars in yet about it Do
not expect a letter every day
while we are here because
we are just as safe as we
would be at home. Best love to all
including Nellie Your most affec Son
