Cleaned up and went over to call on Miss Mullen

Section Sixty-One's chief asked Grant and others if they wanted to go on extended permission [leave]. The men had had no time off since arriving at the front in August, and were worn out from two months of heavy duty. Grant prepared to stay on leave until "my money runs out."

Thursday, October 4, 1917:

Left camp this A.M. at 6:30 with Geo. Sherer, Rap, Art. Jac, and Al with Geo. at the wheel for Bar-le-Duc. Nothing happened en route except we locked hubs with a general’s cart and almost tipped him over in our haste to make the 10:17 out of Bar.

Ate breakfast at the English canteen, ham and eggs, coffee and toast, and Al and I boarded the train.

Reached Paris about 2:30 after an excellent dinner on the train for 8 francs a piece. Got a room at the Silvia hotel, cleaned up and went over to call on Miss Mullen. I wanted to get hold of Agnes Nicholson and by using Miss Mullen’s telephone and her ingenuity we learned that Agnes was still in Paris.
