Abstract
Feels ashamed about a previous 'grumbling' letter / thanks Marion Scott for her letters, and for help with his songs / glad that she like recent verses, and is including more / describes writing at the front / H.N. Howells / music / a photograph / books and requesting the 'Penny Poets' / availability of bread / desire for a salad and fresh food / describes a machine gun with a musical score / the infantry's taste in songs / a poem by John Masefield / the military situation / running in to acquaintances / wonders what Scott will think of new poems / the 'intellectual exercise' of writing verse and letters in war / a packet received by a fellow soldier from a girl / musing about what the girl is like / F.W. Harvey in a newspaper / requests a volume by John Masefield / includes 'Strange Service'.
