Monday 21st 31, TITE STREET, CHELSEA.S.W. Feb. 21 - 1916 I wonder how You are getting on in the trenches - Here it is rather like being in them for just now, 6.15, there are guns booming and the sky is full of search lights - I wonder if it is a raid or if it is the alarm practice They told us not to be alarmed. Is pity to abolish the first act - I don't believe my suggestion of bypassing things with the drunk scene was a good one - I have taken my passage on the "Niew Amsterdam" March 20th from Falmouth - and am sending my things on before that by the "New York" - I hope you'll be getting leave in a few weeks. [[?]] J.S.S.
Transcription Notes:
I don't know if rather is actually caller or not.
I really think the name of the ship is spelled "Nieuw" Amsterdam.
