The people in England seem to be very nervous from all accounts in the papers. We have very comfortable quarters here and very little to do but we are short of coal and oil and candles, but we hope to get supplies soon.

We had a good spell of frost but now it has begun to thaw again and everything is covered with deep mud.

Please dont bother to send any papers except the Observer when you can
