Friday. May 31st Two months since we were brought down. Since I may be 18 months in this country, which Heaven forbid, I’ve decided to keep up my French, and to learn Spanish while in captivity. Ordered ‘Petit Larousse Illustré (Dictionnaire francais) and intend to order French English; English French; Spanish English; English Spanish; Spanish Grammar. I dropped Van den Broeck a p.c. today (the first I’ve written anywhere but home) asking him if he will send me some French books.
Later. Got a Spanish Grammar which he had in stock. Ordered the others. Just devoured a pancake. Feel like I used to feel after Aunt Sue’s Sunday dinner.
