TCD MS 11274/84 folio 1 recto
My dearie No letter tonight as indeed was expected after my good four yesterday.
It was again a pleasant day today I expect some retribution will be owing to us for the easy and quiet time we have been having. Indeed ever since the famous 21st and ensuing fortnight things have been very calm with us. I wonder if Noll will remember me when I come back.
I believe that the next leave is to take place in a week or so. That will leave me second with a biggish gap.
However there should be great opening up of leave when the wet weather sets in. It is to be hoped that they will not go in for mid-offensives this fall. I do not expect that there will ever be so fine a summer again.
I am glad Noll is learning his little prayers.
Very lovingly
Pat
