To A. E. Chambers Cloud's Hill Moreton Dorset 25. XII. 24 Dear Jock This is rotten news. The leave they wouldn't move in: worse luck, I suppose it was not, in their eyes, a great always grow-l: after. Having so much else they don't understand our lesser pleasures. This other is worse. I've written on, of course, but it will be too late, for this is Xmas day, & there is no collection of mails until tomorrow... But I haven't much hope that it will be effective: for in my case they said "Let injustice be done", pleading that no case concerned Right or wrong. It was only the ... maintaining (by endorsement) the authority of the N.C.O. who had put me on the peg. However perhaps it will be better than that: I hope so. Send me news. Cottage empty, & Xmas here very cold & wet. The world except us two, has gone home. Yours R.
