2nd Batt. The Hampshire Rgt. Fri., Dec. 14, 1917

Somewhere in France

Darling,

Leave, leave at last, I’m coming home for ten whole days. Isn’t it spiffing? And I’ll be there for Christmas too.

We’ll see Maid of the Mountains and Dear Brutus and—well, I’ve lots of other plans.

Can you get away from your Picks and Scots, sorry, shovels, and come down to W.P. for a week at least, if not for ten days? Do try. My papers will be through orderly room in two days, in another three I’ll be home. Five days today and I’ll be able to have a bath just when I want one.

Are you sure you won’t mind being seen about with an infantry private? Because I believe there is an order out now that we must not wear civilian clothes, but we’ll see.

Have been lucky and scored a green envelope, so this won’t be censored by my C.O.

So I can say:

I love you, love you like hell, Diane. Will you marry me when I get to Blighty?

All my love, all my kisses, All yours,

BILL
