Letter: To Marion Scott.

Mentions receiving two new letters / John Masefield's 'By the Bierside' / discusses a new book by Rudyard Kipling / includes an addition to the 'Preface' of 'Severn and Somme' / includes a portion of 'Trees' / smoking pipes in the Music Room / wonders what is in store from tomorrow as the battalion goes back on 'Active Service' / feeling fit and well-fed at present / may include new verses in next letter / comments on the importance of letters / curses the war.

提及收到两封新来信；谈及约翰·梅斯菲尔德（John Masefield）的诗作《灵柩旁》（By the Bierside）；讨论了拉迪亚德·吉卜林（Rudyard Kipling）的一部新作；包含对《塞文与索姆河》（Severn and Somme）前言的增补内容；收录了《树》（Trees）的节选片段；提及在音乐室内抽烟斗的场景；对明日将面临的境遇感到茫然——其所属营即将重返"现役"岗位；当下身体康健且饮食充裕；后续来信或将收录新作诗篇；谈及书信往来的重要意义；痛斥这场战争。
