This Convalescent Depot is the best camp I have seen out here.  The usual thing is to step out of your tent into 6 to 10 inches of greasy, slippery, wet mud.  Here there is no mud but cinder paths and the grass is still green between the tent ropes.  This is the grounds of Le Havre Sports Club.  Wet and cold.  Letter to Lena.
