am enjoying the best of health  The Soldiers are getting almost desperate - they immagine that they are being trifled with, in being here at all & these delays are bourne with an ill grace  I am trying to bear the disapontment as philosophically as posible But I assure you I am anxious to be at home with those I love so well. time is pasing rapidly & in a few weeks - all will be right  Ever yours Lyle
