Claimed by Lily Alvey, rhetoric section 0416 November 29, 1943 My dearest, Well, as is so often in the army disappointment again. There will be no leaves; not now or in the future until after we have come back from overseas bases. So there isn't any use worrying about details any more. Of course. There is the possibility -even probability- that the situation will change again in a month or two. there is also certainty that I will be here at Wendover until the middle or end of January. It's a most unpleasant thought. This place is as bleak as one can imagine.... barren, gleaming, forbidding salt flats and great hulks of rock upthrust through the pall of smoke that constantly hovers over us.
