MAY. 1918
8-15 'twould not do me any good.
So don't intend saying about it till
I get home. Am dissatisfied at Base

deaux
16-23" Rather an uneventful week
Quiet at hospital, one train in
with 122 patients. Stafford, Barrows

Chamberlain, Powers, left on S.L
for Biarritz. Only diversion has
been to sit in yard & watch air-
plains, there being several air-
ation fields near here. Largest
at Issoudun, 18 mi. Am contin-
uing to improve, sleeping better
less muscular spasms and
back ache about gone. Into
the city once. Several lettrs from
D- last one date Apr. 13.
Greatest pleasure is daily letter to D.
Am about back now to normal
weight but not strength which
seems to come slowly. Dr. advises
sick-leave but I prefer going to
duty when leave here. Wound
closed except small sinus.
24-31
Uneventful week. No letters from
home. Usual methods of killing time -
To movies at night, loafing about during
the days. Sinus persists, probably from
end of rib. All fairly quiet at hos-
pital. All who felt like it were
off for somewhere on Decoration
Day. Pay voucher in 100 to Bnk of
Clearwater, cash 75.13.
JUNE-
1-7. No events of importance. Lots of
dope from front but none ver-
ified. wound still draing but
feel much better. Muscular spasms
and pulsing sensation about gone
so rest good at night. Had sev-
eral walks which tired me con-
siderably but no ill effects.
Start on rountine again Jn 7 Friday.
