Conger Reynolds correspondence, July 1918

1918-07-30 Conger Reynolds to Daphne Reynolds Page 3

to write about.  And about all we have to do is to keep our office open and wait-wait-wait for something that might happen.  I haven't been out of town for more than a week except for an excursion by bicycle that I took to a village five kilometers away yesterday to get a little exercise.  It almost ruined me - I'm so soft from lack of physical exertion.  None of the three officers here with me is doing much more.  We get up at 9 a.m. and eat. Then we read the morning communiques and mark the changes on the map and play cards or read until lunch.  After it we stroll in the garden and read and play cards until 7 p.m. when the morning papers arrive.  At 7:30 we have dinner.  Afterward there is a brief period of routine work in the office, more reading of papers, a wait for the night communique, and the day is done.
