1490260 Gun. Luce, J. M., A Battery B Sub Section, 207 A.A. Trug. Ret. R.A., Devizes, Wiltshire. - Is happy to learn Trevelyan is 'emending Horace'; asks to see the 'iconoclastic epistle' if Joan [Allen?] does not mind. Thanks him for the offer of books. Has seen Desmond [MacCarthy's] article on Roger Fry's biography [by Virginia Woolf]. Agrees that [Dick?] Bosanquet's three most recent poems are most interesting, but none are as original as his first group. Has provided some criticism, at Bosanquet's request, and wishes Trevelyan would criticise his metrical form. Expects Joan has told Trevelyan something of his daily routine, which is fairly monotous, though enlivened by his 'Jesuit and musician friends'. Recently had scores of the Mozart operas sent, and they ran through "Don Giovanni"; next Saturday they will try "The Magic Flute". Sends love to Bessie, Ursula and Julian.

Capt. J.M. Luce c/o Grindlay's Bank, Bombay. - Thanks Trevelyan for the airgraph: the news of Dick Bosanquet's death is indeed very sad. Is well: boredom is 'the worst disease' as they are far from the war; hopes to get some variety soon. Would be pleased to receive Trevelyan's translations of the Bucolics and Georgics [of Virgil] and read his prose essays ["Windfalls"]; asks if he has put poetry aside. Praises Rex [Warner's] book "Why Was I Killed". Hopes it will not be long before he reads Mat Arnold in Trevelyan's library again.

216 L.A.A. Bty. R.A., The Old Hall, Aylsham, Norfolk. - Thanks Trevelyan for the Christmas present which Tet Htoot has sent on for him. Dick Bosanquet wants him to come to Surrey towards the end of the month, but he does not think he will be able to: they are due to move camp again in a fortnight, and do not know their destination; they have already moved twice since Christmas. Asks after Joan [Allen] and what Polly [Allen] has decided about the WAAFS [Women's Auxiliary Air Force]. Has received a cable from his parents who are well and still in Rangoon; does not imagine his mother will leave. Sends love to Bessie and Miss Simpkins. Is getting 'desperately fed up' with army life.

1490260 Cadet Luce JM, N troop D Battery, 124 OCTU, Llandrindod Wells. - Thanks Trevelyan for the long letter and news of his parents; hopes his father will go to America. Is in his second month of training and still learning 'infantry stuff': will not begin real anti-aircraft training till next month. Got leave last weekend with two of his friends, met Joan [Allen?] and climbed Snowden; then showed her the camp at Llandrindod before she left for Cardiff. Has received a letter from Dick Bosanquet, who is very sad about the death of his cousin Wendy. Glad to hear of Julian's success; hopes he will enjoy Army life [with the Royal Engineers]. Asks if there is any news of Tet Htoot.
