  Dear Mother,

  I have now been four days in

  Cambrai, and am getting along splendidly.

  It is something to have a roof over one's

  head again, as we have now, and although

  it is only a bare room, still it is a much

  nearer approach to "home" than a canvas

  tent was. There are only five of us in

  this house, so we have plenty of room, and

  it is astonishing how comfortable we have

  been able to make it already. Each of us

  has a nice little chair, there is a round table

  in the centre of the room, while a cheery

  fire burns in an old petrol tin in the 

  hearth. A cupboard belonging to the house

  serves to keep our dishes and our few

  eatables. We have a back door and front
