Nothing ends--that's the trouble.

I sometimes feel that the war may never end, that it may last as the Napoleonic Wars did, for 20 years; and before that time we'll all have guns that shoot 100 miles.

We can stay at home and indefinitely bombard the enemy across the Rhine--have an endless battle at long range.
So, we stick to it, and give the peach trees time to grow up.
We had a big day in London yesterday--the anniversary of our entry into the war.

I send you some newspaper clippings about it.
The next best news is that we have a little actual sunshine--a very rare thing--and some of the weather is now almost decent....
Affectionately, W.H.P.
