Our London Letter
Dear Mir. Vining,
Well, we know where we are
now! And although facing heavy
odds and unknown dangers, we
are not unmindful of our blessings.
All our sons, husbands, and lovers
are gathered together in this small
island, and as near to them as they
can reasonably get nestle the moth
ers, wives and sweethearts. No
more sea separating us, no more
prisoners of war or missing to
be waited for—we are all in the
front line of the battle —men, wo
men and children.
That France should now have
gone seems almost unbelievable.
For weeks we heard rumors that
she would be forced to lay down
her arms, but in our hearts we
thought she would fight until not
a man was left standing, and the
news came as a great shock. This
evening I expect, we shall hear the
terms of the armistice —the poor
French, how inconceivably awful
for them.
We have had two successive
nights of raids, but amazingly
little damage was done considering
the number of planes said to be
involved. Long may this state of
affairs continue.
I am/ leaving London, which
really breaks my heart, as my hus
band is stationed in the west
country and I want to be as: near
to him as possible. So down come
the curtains, and off come the
covers and up go the shutters.
Very depressing.
The weather continues beautiful.
Nobody can remember such a gor
geous summer—sunny days and
hot, too hot. and flowers and fruit
