16% gone. Churchill said 3 months - I have given him 100 days which expire the day before my birthday - 16 now gone so we hope on. Good news still comes through - someone some place - I don't know where still has a battery driven set and he gets the news which is then passed round.

I spent yesterday in bed and I'm still there. Greaves says I've had 'flu. ((Probably A V Greaves, as he had a medical background.)) But I'm better now - but rather starving.  I've lived on Bournvita and Beemax. Well I'll write on later - it is tiring on a camp bed. How my bones ached last night but I'm ok now.       All my love.     B.
