Word came back that my leave was turned down, so all my made up plans are now squashed. I never said a word either when they put my name up on the "not approved" list, & still believe the proper person never saw it, never mind I will put in again later. Three of us here go down to the Salvation Army or Y.M.C.A hut every evening now & have supper, we are coming out some, I can tell you. I have met a good few fellows I knew in France, over here, most of them have been wounded.
