p.

write about and I just felt very miserable.

So I spent the day reading all the newspapers & wrote letters to the Chairman & Birchall & Frost, & my mother, & Pop & Leslie Abel. And then in the evening we went a Ensa concert at the Garrison Theatre here - which was very good.

This place is one of those hutted camps & is very finely appointed - except for being damned cold, because they cannot draw fuel until Dec 1st. The other & bigger snag is that as furniture etc is provided, we cannot draw Field Allowance @ 2/- a day. Or so the Adjutant says, but we are going further into this.

There are nine other officers here on this same job & they are all quite pleasant chaps - & we all have beers together & chat in a friendly manner.
