'I like this Digs far better than the Queen’s Hotel life. It is the first time I ever shared rooms, in the Keats-Brown manner. I confess [2/Lt A. R.] Rickard is not kin spiritually or literarily, but actually and personally and militarily we agree famously. He has more than once been mistaken for me. I like Fleetwood. Have finished tonight a fine novel by Wells: which I must shake off before tomorrow. I shall go and inspect the men’s billets to see if they are comfortable now.’
