arrangements of the city, it and the populace being wholly under military authority.
After leaving work to come to hospital I had a bosker 50 mile run in a car through the country over miles & miles of cobblestone roads - national roads they call them - established by Napoleon, cobblestones & lined with trees, just the thing for heavy traffic.
Well that is all for the present. Don't worry about me as I am as right as rain - very comfortable & well fed & once more sleeping between sheets. By the time you get this I will be out again back with the unit. I didn't think I would be wearing the blue suit & red tie so soon & it seems quite farcical as I feel as well as ever I did but I will have to put up with this good treatment I suppose, it is certainly better than hanging out clothes & they don't stop for Xmas there. Remember me to all & next door
From your loving son
