p.

could you bring the necessary stuff? I have found what I think is a nice farm, with a nice kind farmer - who will supply eggs & milk & water etc. He has some pleasant fields - all overlooking a mere. And Little Budworth is a pretty little village. I do hope you feel pleased about it all. I do.

The Court Martial was today. The man was found guilty, which was pretty well inevitable - & was awarded (subject to Divisional confirmation) - 28 days - in detention prison. In the last case, the man was given 70 days - so this one has fared much better. Funnily enough - I was apparently quite good - & afterwards was asked if I was a barrister in civil life - & was told that I nearly brought tears to their eyes. Well - I always did enjoy a bit of praise, as you well know.

But perhaps the most satisfactory part of it was afterwards when the accused man said he would never know how to repay me for what I had done for him.

The P.M.C racket still goes on - & I am off to Oulton Park again in the morning.

Mrs Read has asked me for Sunday - to meet Colonel Sampson - Leslie Abel is taking me in his car & coming too. I shall take the Colonel in a corner & remain very, very sober to do so.

And now I must go - but will write you full particulars in a day or so, about trains & meeting after. It will almost certainly be same one as before - was it 1-30 pm? Pattie will meet you. All my love - sweet darling one.
Harry.
