funk. I have no basis for the latter; it simply has me as it does occasionally reason or no reason. I wish I could have my sweetheart tonight. Then all the world would seem gay. This is one of the times when I'm near despair with the longing to see you. Anyway, it will not be more than a week until I'll get some more letters from you. It is a week tonight since the big bunch came. They have been lasting pretty well, and they certainly are fine letters, but I want some more, so I do. 9:30 Sunday. Good morning, judge! Allow me to inform you that I feel much improved. What I needed was sleep, and I got it, nine fine hours of it. This morning in the cool sunshine and the freshness that follows after yesterday's rain it is easy to by happy and contented. Most of the force has gone to the front to witness the decoration of the heroes of the taking of Soissons. I had planned to go but some business came up that detained me until too late. A trip out to the hospital train for lunch is in prospect now. Nobody here but Mangan and I, and we want to give Martine and the maid a rest from serving meals. They have had a hard grind recently caring for all our visitors.
