HMS. St Vincent.
GPO. London.
Nov. 5th. 1916.
My dear Buchan,
I'm off with Blenkiron, Sandy &
Hannay - to discover meaning of
'Kasredin, Cancer - v.I' -
Bursting with excitement.
My duties are at a standstill,
& will remain so till Trench p. 307.
Mighty good of you to send me the book.
Come & see us all again - soon -
You would cheer us up - We are getting
dull, all except me. I'm at Rotterdam
'pattering the taal!
Yrs ever
W. Fisher
[pencil note by Janet Adam Smith: [?] Captain William Fisher
[later Admiral Sir Wm. F.]
