My dearest Lillie
I am just off to my Batt. And will be with them tonight. This gives you my address so you may write when you like. I want you to write to “Jotham Outfitters, Duke Street, Cardiff”, send them 17/6 and ask them to send me at once an officers Mess tin fitted. They said “they would send it as soon as they got word”. We came straight through to Rouen and spent the night there, so it has given us little rest since we started. It has been a great rush. Must go off and get ready. Give Lucy my address.
Fondest love to all, in haste
Your loving brother
Harry
The Mess tins are fitted with various articles of use. All you need write is: Please forward to Lt. H. T. White etc an officer’s Mess tin with fittings immediately.
