TCD MS 11290/36 folio 2 recto
[19th June 1918] nest only about 6 feet off the ground and is not the least disturbed if the British army goes in & studies him. His great trick is taking dead flies off the end of a straw which we poke up to him and we hope after a bit to get him to eat them out of our hands.
No letters from you since Livy wrote last but I expect to get some tomorrow.
We have had a good pour of rain which has freshened up the whole country though making everything very muddy.
The general has been round inspecting us today which was a bad business however we got out of it fairly easily and well.
Best love to all
Henry
