III. I had a pretty cool bath today. I took it in the stream I mentioned before. It froze ice last night so you can see it couldn't have been very warm. Felt good after it was all over. I got some clothes washed also. It is pretty darned cold out. I might say that its so cold that are overcoat doesn't keep you warm. One of the kids in my squad is getting a furlough back to London. The company drew for it and he was lucky. Everyone is throwing a dollar into a pool so he should have about $180 to go on. He should be able to have some fun on that. I guess I've nearly run out of news for tonight. (over)
