possible to see the Daily Times of the day before. Carleton sends me this paper regularly but it is about 10 days old whn it gets here.

Hugh Le Fanu wrote me the other day. He had not much news but said that Johnnie Somerville was a Commander at some special duty in Portsmouth on the War Staff + that he has a D.S.O.

they tell me that Hugh is quite a domesticated old thing without much ambition which is unusual for a person with red hair.

My circle of friends and acquaintances has increased enormously lately and I dare say will do me no harm. Division is giving me some further duties of a senior legal nature so it looks as if they meant to keep me but one never knows
