not escaping hard work and I'm not escaping all the dangers. But there is no need of bothering your imagination with either of those phases. I am contented because I know I am where I am of some account. I like my job because I fit into it. But even so I'm not so fond of it that I'll shed any tears when the war is over and I can go back home where my beau lives at. Some of my comrades are already pretty tired of this business. They don't like France, chiefly because they don't understand the people. They haven't any wives to go home to but they would like to go home anyway. I'm rather glad that I don't feel as they do. With all its oddities I like this pretty country and the grown up children who inhabit it.
