after demobilization it will probably be a couple of weeks or even more before I can get a passage back, or rather until the repatriation board find one for me. Among the officers here I found young Beasley a son of the EYN [illeg.]. Railway manager. He is now a captain in the R.a.f. having been a full-Covt [illeg.] in the R.n.a.s. a year ago. He tells me that Kenneth Macdonald is now a Major in the R.a.7. and has a job in London somewhere. I am feeling rather fed up and tired this evening so think I will go off to bed. There is nothing to do here but eat, read, play cards or billiards or sleep and I have done all but the last, so will start early and get lots of it. Good-night, dear people, don't expect me till I cable I'm coming though I hope to make it soon. Love to you both as ever. Howarth.
