My darling Lola,
Just a few lines to say that I got back all right + had a good journey.
It was rather rough crossing the channel but I had a good lunch and we reached Bologne at 5 P.M.
At 6 we started off in a motor bus and reached Merveille at 12 midnight. There we found a motor car which brought us on and landed me here at 1-30 A.M. Things here as just the same as when I left; but they have
BC Archives, MS-0455 Box 1 File 1 MEARES, Cecil Henry, 1877 – 1937. Victoria; traveler, British military officer. Predominantly selected letters and cards from Meares to his fiancée, Lola Spengler, 1914 – 1918.
