  My Own Darling Marion,

         I didn't get a chance to write
  

  yesterday as I was out on a joy ride. Hooper

  Payne, Badley, Dr, Coulson + I went. I had

  breakfast at 5:45 then a run across

  county on Sally to catch a motor lorry.

  About 40 miles in that & we got to our

  destination. We passed through where

  we had our first tour in the trenches

  when we first came out. The trenches 

  looked somewhat different all fallen

  in & the grass growing quickly has

  partly hidden the numerous shell

  holes - still the place looks a wilderness.

  It was strange to see people working

  in the fields - the first cow almost 

  drew a cheer & altogether the journey

  was very interesting. Imagine what

  some of us thought when we

  saw the first woman (she was very

  old) but we passed a pretty

  "flapper" a mile farther on. I think
