do is to stick it as cheerfully as possible. This time,

we can go down to the Football field in charge of Potter,

but otherwise we are not allowed outside the hut at all

except ...illegibleI am sending you an extract

from "Freckles" which I think expresses a very true sentiment

+ which I liked. If you substitute yourself for the

"Swamp Angel" + York + district for the Lumberlost - you

will understand why I think so much about the old

place. Bless your heart in some places especially,

(eg the Museum or Bishopthorpe + Dringhouses) every stone

reminds me of you + happy days we have spent

together. Mr Harrowell called at the Hut yesterday

morning, + I got the Declaration signed. He had

motored over, + was in Red Cross uniform. He says he

had an awful night on the occasion of the Zepp

raid. I don't know how this letter will reach you

as of course the Y.M.C.A. is closed + noone can go into

Ripon. I expect we shall get them all sent to the

Field Post Office somehow I was glad you managed

to get a message down last night + also Evelyn's letter

I don't know who the messenger was, but he looks a bigger

twister than McArcolt. Well, look after yourself +

let me have all the news. I will let you know if I

require anything. With all my love,

Your Stanley


...Written vertically in the left margin

P.S. Will you call for your badge at wills +

also send me an envelope or two - just one

or two will do.
