G.H.Q.
Sept: 20: 15
My dearest little Susie
Last night I got two letters from you, which was a great
delight. I am glad you are well & keeping busy. About my coming home, I
cannot fix a day yet quite definitely. It seems impossible to get from here to
the French, and if so I shall come back next Monday. But I want to see [ST - General] Henry
Wilson before departing, for it might be worth my while to stay another week or so
there. Anyhow I shall be back by October 2nd or 4th, as want to go to
Cloan [ST - Cloan the Haldanes] & Ardtornish. I should take [Evy's?] house from Oct 18th to Dec 11th
with an an option of another 3 months.
Yesterday evening I set off to look for Arthur [Grenfell]. After a
tremendous circuit of Canal I found the quarters, but A had gone to
G.H.Q to see Lord Grenfell who is out on a visit. I found only Reynolds & Porter-Porter

Major Porter's parents were both called Porter (his mother was Josephine Porter Porter), so he could well have double- (or triple-!) barrelled it. 9th Lancers fits.
I'm sure that's right. The second part of this letter appears to be 2110-2-14-6
I think this is his father:
