A.A. Laporte Payne letter to Muriel 27 September 1917

Same old place.

Sept 27^th 1917

My own darling

Thank you so much for your dear note which awaited my arrival. It was most thoughtful of you, and was just what I wanted to cheer me up a bit.

I am living now on the memory of my delightful leave – the best I have ever had – thanks to you chiefly – and others.

I will write more tomorrow. At present I am up to my eyes in work – I am in charge of the battery in the line and there have been a lot of changes.  I have been out all day and now have several things to see to.  I will send a proper letter tomorrow.  Please forgive this.  Surroundings are more uncongenial than ever.

How are you now

Fondest love dearest & many kisses

Ever your

Arch.
