TCD MS 11274/66 folio 2 vero
[?1917]
about to be gazetted into the RFC. James is in hospital with a slight accident “badly cut” Ritch says. He, James, is getting an RE commission at last I am glad. He will probably spend heart searching times when he begins to dig holes in this country. I will write him some hints. Great work on overland. No light job pulling off cylinders & you did it grandly. That is carbon on the head and induces “knocking”
Olive writes and sends the organ of the U.D.C. with which I am in sympathy
Well now good night my Darling and keep you & P well
Your Pat
