| Scope and Content |
Comprises a letter written in pencil telling Hilda that letters she had written in September and October were still arriving, and asking her to address them to the Military Head Quarters in the Middle East and to “Captain”; hoping that she had received his telegrams; asking Hilda to write to Westminster Bank about his pay as he should be on a Captain’s wage and thought that he wasn’t; telling her that he had blood poisoning; asking Hilda if ‘Karphi’ had been published, and how Little Arthur, Myres, Mercy, Marion and “all the vogues of yester year” were. John also wrote that: people asked after Hilda, David and Joan; that he sometimes managed to go to Villa [Ariadne]; that his [house] was run by the Krone; that he had started to keep a diary but “so much has for the present to stay unwritten that I gave it up after 2 months”; they seemed as safe in Crete as Britain, but that could change; and that he had nearly lost his fear of caiques but not of rowing boats. |
