Scope and content

Heathercliffe, Goodeve Road, Sneyd Park, Bristol.—Is not likely to get leave this week, but he will probably get it when his transfer comes. Has read G. B. Harrison’s memoir of his father in the Review of English Studies, which at first sight he found ‘somewhat empty, the work of someone who had not fully understood either Daddy’s personality or work’. Describes a visit to the Bristol Museum and refers to excursions to the YMCA, the library, and the theatre (to see The Chocolate Soldier). Has had to move rooms, and his friend has joined the RASC as a clerk, which is ‘a blow’. Will be interested to hear of the progress of letting the house. Is sorry that Colin was unable to come home with Mr Whitaker for a few hours.
