To-day has not been quite such a hustle as yesterday was, but it has
been very full since 8 a.m. this morning--or rather yesterday
morning! I am very well and getting through it wonderfully; the
Brigade Major will probably return on Thursday or Friday. A Brigade
Headquarters is a busy place on Service, and fifty different things
seem to call for attention at once sometimes. There are telephones
to the different Battalions in the trenches, and a telephone to the
Divisional Headquarters and to Artillery Batteries and Royal
Engineers. Then besides that, Officers come in to ask for
instructions for this, that and the other thing. But I have been
wonderfully helped from day to day. The trenches are pretty bad with
mud and water, and to-day and to-night it has been raining, and they
will be worse to-morrow.
