A letter was received this week from Colonel Jerome D. Cambre, who reports that he is stationed just outside Manila and had the good fortune to meet his son there and spend a few hours with him. He also found several other officers there with whom he worked at Letterkenny before coming to BHOD. His headquarters is at the Country Club and he is living in a tent, but meals are served at the Club with "excellent food and service, which includes polished silver and long-stemmed goblets." He works 6 1/2 hours per day with Saturday afternoon and Sunday off.
