Dear Hazel,

This is April Fool's day but I don't intend this for that kind of a letter. You see this is Sunday and we are in quarantine so I decided to write a few lines to let you know of our predicament. McAlpine, of course, had to get the mumps and as a result we were all moved into the quarantine camp and will have to stay here for twenty eight long days. It is quite likely that someone else will get the mumps just when we are ready to get out and we will be here all summer. It is great you know staying here and letting some one do the fighting for you and all your friends getting killed over the channel. However it seems to be our fate that we are never to see the "line" so I guess it won't do any good to worry.
