To return to the war. A long list today of killed & wounded. On Tuesday we saw among those wounded & missing the name of Luke Coleridge. Mr Rennel Coleridge’s son. He was in the Coldstream Guards, having joined some time after the war. He was meant for the Diplomatic Service.

It is difficult to find out what is happening, there is so little news.

In the afternoon D & I went to Whitchurch. Miss Walker has asked us to try the organ. It is a lovely one. Miss W plays beautifully. Afterwards we went to tea at Holwell.

I find I have let out a very important thing, namely that Reginald has succeeded in getting in to the O.T.C. He went on the Sat. I came back from London, to the Inns of Court & interviewed a man there & told him about his defects, & how keen he was to do something, and on Monday he went to see the Dr who passed him as sound never asking him about his hearing, & when his sight was tested, he peeped with his one eye, & so the Dr did not find out about his glass eye. R thinks the Dr was put up to it, anyhow R is in very good spirits, in at last he is to do something. He will be a private for 2 months & then get a commission.

Bob we hear is on the way home & may appear any day
