Australian nurses at one of the French Hospitals I shall go in again as often as I can. I knew them at Hospital when I was a resident, they have promised to introduce me to a charming French V.A.D. Life is beginning to become interesting again – what! I completely wormed myself into their good graces by taking them a lot of sugar & biscuits as their rations are not the best in the French hospitals & sugar is absolutely unobtainable at shops, so "my marble is good" as they say in the Classics.

Well I must write other Aust. letters now, thank you awfully for the coat & for the papers that come along regularly & are a great boon.

Send me a copy of the book "tout de suite" & don't be too severe on the kid – you wouldn't expect your son to feed out of your hand – what!

My regards to John.

With all best wishes
Yrs very sincerely
J.B. Metcalfe

P.S. Did I tell you I was a Major now?
