    where they were so had a ride
    about all over the park.  finally
    locating & reported to Maj.
    Derby who informed us that
    we were to sail on 18th Oct. Some
    news.  Hard to say how it
    struck us.  first as a surprise
    then, elation & depression had
    their turns. but on the whole
    all seemed anxious to start
    Most of the boys at Evac. Hosp.
    envious.  Advised to get our
    equipment together. 
4.
     No more duties at Camp so
     packed up our luggage & only
     report by phone to Hdq. Await-
     ing orders.  Bought trench coat
     & coat-sweater, 15.00 each. [xpect?]
     to [fix?] for warmth & comfort as far
     as I can.
5"  Wire from Byrne the he & [Krom?]
      would arrive Sat. 10.55 A.M.

       ly glad to see 'em.  Had lunch

        all day, reading & sleeping.
        Enjoyed very much having
        [Krom?] & Byrne with us.
        Inactivity while waiting for orders
