I am never optimistic about anything – least of all alone British Military affairs. Still everything points to a gradual exhaustion of these Hell-Huns – I pray that our Cranks - and German – Britains may not step in and stop the proper crushing of those wretches who have blackened the face of the Earth and made this sad world sadder.

10.30 pm I've just returned from Edenbridge in Kent where we have spent a long, cold, and boring day at my daughter in law's cottage. I heard the guns booming all afternoon from Belgium. It goes on incessantly – like the thudding of Earth with a maul. My wife has deplorable health. Things are worse for her than for me for I know that Each day Ill have the joy of going to the Hospital and forgetting everything in the work and quaint and interesting people who impart Millbank – All kind wishes to you dear man - and yours R.
