Scope and content
A reply to his father's letter of 21 May 1917 over confusion over the question of Ifor's scholarship. He explains the reasoning for dropping the modern language school idea and switching to History. Then outlines the work he is undertaking to achieve this. Ifor then details the teaching and Spanish studies he is currently undertaking. He goes on to explain that while he is stronger in French he has still made some progress in the language, just not enough for the modern language exam. He briefly covers remittances to the bank and expresses his hope that they have sent the money he requested to Thomas's family. The postal service has been extremely poor lately but Ifor refuses to dwell on it. He has received a tobacco package and one from Selfridge's. Ifor requests that in future he send Players W3 instead of the medium and hints that he would like a pipe. Ifor then moves on to correct a misunderstanding about a move to what he refers to as the Sea House. Then talks about his wishes for a proposed exchange of civilian prisoners and mentions an incident where a fire broke out in one of the stables in the compound. Finally he writes how he is pleased that the school term is coming to an end, it would appear he is looking forward to a break.
