'Thank you very much for your letter and the "Smart Set", which I think very good, also Bottomley's article, which is much to the point. Since last writing we have returned from the trenches and have been stopping in bivouacs for 8 days. The weather has been bitterly cold, damp and foggy, rotten weather for being under canvas.'
