Raining very hard. I had leave from 7.30 am till 8.30 am. I went into Poperinghe with Griffs. Poperinghe is one of the largest villages we have been in. My first thing was to visit the baths. We pollished off sixteen fried eggs between us. Went to the [picture] whilst waiting I read one of the best letters I have ever received from Claude. I also had one from Mrs. Johnson.
