Dear Louis,

 

93.

 

Quite anxious and very wretched at not hearing from you.

     

What of spending Equinox here? 23rd inst.

     

One very bright spot in life. I had given Mrs. Symonds [Johnnie Symonds] and he ma a lift back from the Front; later, mentioned my birthday, asked hers. Dec 30. She didn't know the hour. So ask to have it in writing that I could tell her rising sign. I sent a note down with my supper-tray. "Mrs. Symonds Midnight, within an hour one day or the other. That spiteful old hag Miss Clark saw this, and took it very mysteriously to Vernon [Vernon Symonds]. "I think you ought to know what's going on, Sir!" Thought it was an assignation! ! !

     

Do wake up and shine, Lord God, arise and shine!

 

93     93/93.

 

Love,

 

Aleister.
