From Chambery, here into a rest area, to put on flesh again, to quiet my jumping nerves and to fatten up for the return to the front. To-day I have no desire to hasten that return. I write it down frankly, - as I intend to keep honesty with myself and my impressions. There are other times when I feel the tug and fret to be back. It is my mood to-day, as war is a succession of nu related moods. This morning I ask no more of life than to continue here at my Open window in the buzzing month of August, looking down on a drowsy world in animal content. A pipe of tobacco and the noonday meal Pinard, pommes de terre frites, and perhaps a ragout with a touch of onions - all these simple joys to my keen senses seem the limit of human desires.
