cannot last more than another six months. If that can
happen , then Japan should be easy meat.
I think that it is tremendously encouraging that
Sir S. Cripps now has an important job in the War
Cabinet. He is 100% incorruptible, + the fact of him
being in the W. Cabinet will never make him
change his spots.
I feel very impatient, you know, sittting on my
bottom in this place. I wish to God I could
have a more important job-but these all seem to
be reserved for the Regular Army.
If I do come home, I wonder what they will
do with me. I shall work v. hard for the Area
Commander and/or Col.G. to make out a good
report on me + send it on ahead of me. I
should hate to finish up in charge of some
outlandish part or railway station- when I feel
so strongly the urge to be useful + to get
something done. But the main thing is to get
home. It is now March- + the reply will come
this month. I must now catch this morning's
post. I have , so far, been having a lazy Sunday
morning. Do please give Marie my best
love + kisses + tell him I think he looks lovely
in his photographs + I think of him very much.
And all my love to you darling heart. I think
of you all the same, no less. Sweet darling, XXX Harry
