I fear that in the correspondence line I have been somewhat remiss of late but you will pardon me I hope when I tell you that we have been in the line without a spell since beginning of January, in a part of the line where the duration of a unit's stay is generally not more than 2-3 weeks, & we're very fed up too. At any time it needs considerable stimulus to rouse my lethargic muse, at such times as these much more than normal is required.
I always seem to write you short & stodgy epistles, some day when I feel in the mood I'll open out & give you a lengthy one on the life in general &c. but I never quite what you folk really want to hear about this life after the first excitement & newness wears off, becomes just as much a matter of routine & just as humdrum & monotonous as any other walk of life, though of course if one is looking for excitement one can always find it up in front somewhere.
