Transcript
Unknown
Tolkien writes to the Adjutant of the 13th Battalion requesting leave for 13 to 17 May after he has completed his signalling course. His address if his leave is granted would be 26 Hamilton Terrace, Leamington.
Notes
Garth identifies the recipient of this letter as Captain C. A. McAllard, and notes that Tolkien was only given two days leave.

They will reply on 11 May that no leave is being given at the moment, but then the order is striked, and he is given leave until 15 May.
