My dear Arthur. I am very sorry your "leave" is not in sight but hope you may spend Xmas with us. I will not send the Times any more for the present & we shall have "Cornhill" regularly if somewhat late!
It really is very tantalizing not to hear all sorts of interesting details you are in a position to tell us, owing to the censorship. Our late successes are cheering that one longs to know more about them.

With his usual want of the best of luck he has hit on a dull time here. Last week he would have enjoyed Ethel & her party & next week Meg is coming so could
