It is too bad being laid low at the moment but I'm doing well & hope to be with you in 10 to 12 days. I've lost about 21lbs in weight but am slowly picking it up. My best love & good wishes to your Brigadiers

& all your Division of which I am so truly fond & proud. If you take Guillemont you live in History for ever & ever & ever whatever your fate as a Division after peace. God bless you all & help you to do it.
Yours
