No. 12

In the Field

July 7, 1918

Dearest Mother,

Here is another Sunday, though it is hard to realize it for we have already done a job this morning and had a little "tiff" with a few Huns – while it would have been folly for us to attack them, so we just manoeuvred about for an hour or more and then came home disgusted. I know I was "fed up" and the flight-commander, "Blanco", said he was.

Since I last wrote you one letter of yours has come – the delayed no. 38. I expect there will be two or three together today or to-morrow.
