To Major General A. P. Wavell,
Myrtle Cottage
Mort[illegible]
Southampton
5. IX. 32
I have carried your address about with me in a booklet for months & months, on the chance that I might call on some journey up and down – but it is no use. I up and I down at top speed and Ald[illegible] always off the road. I am so sorry.
Also I wanted to say that I enjoyed your lam-poon of military science. Of course it couldn’t always keep its highest levels : but it was well worth while.
Liddell Hart is getting somewhere, I think. His “British Way” impresses me, so far as Chapter V, which is my present halting place.
I have spent two years working on motor-boat design & equipment : very hard work and unsatis-factory, for each type is old-fashioned the day after it is finished : but we have changed the fashion, anyway.
I hope your life is not all grit and glanders.
Yours
T.E.S.
