Abstract

Written on reverse of Church Army paper. Mentions still being in hospital but will likely be transferred to the trenches shortly / apologises for 'dreariness' of letter, but explains that the circumstances and experience of war makes it more difficult to write / discusses Gordon Bottomley' suggestions for alterations to 'The Unicorn' / has not incorporated changes to 'The Unicorn' as yet / is including instead various drafts, including a pencil draft of 'The Tower of Sculls' and typescripts of 'Returning, we hear the larks', 'The Burning of the Temple' and 'The Dying Soldier'.
