It seems rather ironical but nevertheless, here we are celebrating Armistice Day.The Embassy is closed except for a skeleton staff.I am not on duty but came down early this morning to get this letter off to you by Air Mail. There has been certain conjecture th^t the Germans might pick today to get really rough but thus far nothing.I noticed walking through the park this morning that the battery was all unlimbered and prepared. However, the day is very overcast and I think will rain before it is finished so I don’t have any worries along that line. Speaking of rain, we have had a thoroughly miserable week of it and there are lots of colds running around but fortunately, I have been spared and have no fear of getting one. I have been using Russell's sun lamp here at the office regularly and I do believe that it has done me lots of good. For a while after you all left my headaches came with renewed intensity but for the past few days they have eased up considerably.
