Tuesday, Jany. llth My Dear Edna, - It seems a long time since I have written to anyone. Somehow I can- not settle down to writing lately, al- though I feel perfectly well and have never been a day off ,duty since lean- ing Canada. I don't think 3' ever felt better in my life. We have to guard against the very changeable' weather though, for it- will be from one extreme to the other in about twenty-four hours. We are not at all busy now, as there has been no fighting, but. the Allies are wonderfully prepared and indeed an advance from the German- Bulgars seems quite impossible, owe ing to our splendid position. Our greatest peril just now seems from airl-raids, and we have been having them frequently. Needless tat say we are all nearly petrified, as rna are helpless when the heavens rain bombs. The only thing we can do is lie fiat on the ground, as there is less dant f flying ,shrapnel. However, bride.
