And then war broke out! On the first day my brother left for Verdun[1] as a major, and since then has never ceased to be in the most terrible danger in the firing line[2]. My dearest friends are all at the front. It gives me some peace of mind at least to know that you can’t “go”. As for myself I’ve still not passed my exemption review. I hope that your health does not suffer too cruelly from the repercussions of these anxieties, and also that your friends haven’t been too much put to the test. Alas, I already have friends[3], even family members[4] who have been killed.
