La Creste, Huiry, Couilly. S et M. September 16, 1914 Dear Old Girl: More and more I find that we humans are queer animals. All through those early, busy, exciting days of September, can it be only a fortnight ago? I was possessed, like the "busy bee," to "employ each shining hour" by writing out my adventures.
Bravo for the pretty idea you had in flinging to the winter breezes the tri-colored flag in honor of our departure. All the soldiers marching out of Voisins saw the colors and were deeply touched. Let me bear witness to their gratitude. How I regret La Creste. One never knows how happy he is until afterward. I am far from comfortably installed here. I am lodged in an old deserted château.
Last night I heard your account of your experiences between September 1 and 9, and it made me boil anew with disappointment that my attempts to reach Huiry on September 4 were frustrated. I was disappointed enough at the time, but then my regret was tempered by the thought that you were probably safe in Paris, and I should only find an empty house at La Creste.
