21 - Good Friday. In spight of all our advanced ideas men are not given any meat even in war time.
22 - Rain still. During my stay here have found an old woman of 88 who does my cooking. Every day I go to the butcher every day & choose my meat. Getting fed again & morale improves in consequence. News of the arrival of Russian troops in France has splendid effect.
