I am fighting the grippe so you mustn’t expect a cheerful letter. Also the major asked me this morning if I had any dependents. Of course I have any technical ones and had to say so. I know what he wanted – he thinks I’ll stay here forever and run this useful department for him. H said, “Then you’re in the same position as I am.” To which I replied, “Not at all, I want to go home.” He didn’t say anything more, but of course, he’ll do as he likes. They can’t stretch it beyond the beginning of Sept. however, so what’s the difference. However it didn’t make me any peppier.
