There doesn't seem to be a censor mark for this ship.  I have four covers, three from same correspondence as yours Chris, plus another (scanned herewith)  addressed to Brigadier-General Laker at the Yorkshire Club , in York surprisingly.

After May 1916 she served as a troopship, collier and stores carrier, but my covers all dated when she was a Kite Balloon Ship in the Dardanelles
