God knows we (I mean the American people) are doing everything we can to alleviate it but there is so much more to be done than any group of forces can possibly do, that I have a feeling that we have hardly touched the borders of the great problem itself.

Of course here in London we are away from all that.

In spite of the rations we get quite enough to eat and it's as good as it is usually in England, but we have no right to complain.

Of course we are subject to air raids, and the wise air people here think that early next spring we are going to be bombarded with thousands of aeroplanes, and with new kinds of bombs and gases in a well-organized effort to try actually to destroy London.

Possibly that will come; we must simply take our chance, every man sticking to his job.
