I have one crumb of corn fal[?] & that is that, it is rumored the supervisory officers who went over had Wednesday [?] simply being cleared out of England & go to [?] office like schools & wont see the Front for months.

Saw Hughes had an inspection on Friday & made a speech at which he said he was going to have 10 Divisions all in France - Same[?] have of front as we have not - with 4 Divisions drop[?] at the Front & changing them now so that all shal get active service. Whether the bill, blighter can can carry through part of this scheme remains to be seen, anyhow its clear the 4th Division [?] go to the Front very shortly - they go to France I believe on the 8th.

I saw Graham [?] a Saturday & he's still on light duty. It is not his wound that is worrying him but either the F[?] to do r[?]lts. Poor chap. He told me he had a very spicy letter from your giving him all the news & magnificiently by the writter. He's quite cheery.

Damn Blast & Curse the _ _ _ fool she cut my name out. I'm was[?] in[?] the 62nd. B. with the Colonel Quartermasters & two sergents. I'm so sick of it that if I don't get over soom I'm going to resign or just
