In England, Verne writes in his diary . . . .
02-16-45
Practice mission canceled. Loafed around the barracks. Wrote a couple of letters. Finished up the cake Aileen sent me. No mail today. Talked to Major Gross1 and he wants us to have a little bitching session tomorrow. Mission was scrubbed. War news is good from all over. Weather very foggy today. No news of staff ratings until after our 10 or 15 missions.
