- 2 with little sundry jobs - hut[?] cleaning & short marches I find the marches a bit blowing to me at present. I spent my furlough at home & had a nice quiet time. Poor old Grandmaman is not very much better, but she is more cheerful & suffers less. I saw a good deal of dear old Syl; went to Queen's Hall twice & once to the theatre. I saw Dolly Karslake a few times & went to see Nelly. Roland Pegram is dead, the poor chap died of fever abroad. His poor people are very upset. Olive Pegram is engaged to a M.G. Officer. I spent a good deal of my time with Papa; the 10 days went very quickly & included no excitements or [sensations?]. It did me good to see old Corky's face, it reminded me of many jolly times we had together with the 22nd in France. I don't mean that it is anything like honey over there, but our great compensation is that you have friends round you - real tried friends & there are many little incidents that happen, which, though she ere may be forgotten, will be remembered always. - All sorts of incidents sometimes happy, sometimes tragic & sometimes very humourous & often all three together. - incidents that draw you together, that prove the pluck & dependency & worth of our pals in moments of danger, as well as their good fellowship afterwards behind the lines in times of better living. All these things that one would'nt have missed for worlds, that make one feel that there are at least some real men in the world, whom one was thankful to know. I shall look forward to joining you, & will be pleased also to see so many other friendly faces once more. There is no doubt about it that the 22nd, on the whole, is a hard bunch to beat. These fellows here are an absolute wash [out?]. Good bye & good luck signed Georges
