43, QUEENS GATE GARDENS,
S.W.
Dearest Gertrude
I hear you have Ted home wounded, but not seriously & will have all the family party together the first time for years. I am so glad- tho’ Ted is wounded that you should have them all together- I was going to write & ask Ben if she would like a few days here after Whitsuntide? but must wait till she has a more convenient moment tell her. I hope all is well with Mrs. Bennett.
I went to Salisbury this week end to get a glimpse of Julian who is at Tidworth. Harry was to have been in the fight on 9th May & then the orders were countermanded- Julian is supposed to be going somewhere in 5 weeks’ time but I expect it will be longer. He is only 18 in July- I do not hope the Dardanelles- Well much love
Ever your affecate
