Description
In this damaged letter, Owen expresses regret at [the deaths of?] Johnny and David Richards. He has been in the line again but came out on Friday morning, the 14th of December, very dirty and tired. He had been in the line for ten days, although they had been told that they were only going for forty eight hours. Many of the men have trench foot. Owen mentions Christmas and hopes to be further back by then. He ends his letter with kisses, which he calls 'some barb wire for little Mair' [his niece].
