Friday, July 12, 1918: “all the indolence of one of the ‘idle rich’”

Friday, July 12th.     Felt considerably better.  Quite a large list of parcels for the camp.  I was unlucky however.
We live here on about an eighth of a loaf, and two soups a day.  Yet after our sumptuous repast we drink wine (at least some do: I personally don’t) at 13/- the bottle; and smoke cigars varying in price from 1/6 to 2/3 each.  So we live the life, and have all the indolence of one of the ‘idle rich’.
