"...I could not possibly be happier..."

Ed. Note: Worsley and Macklin wrote similar entries about being perfectly content with their

situation.

Orde-Lees' Journal - December 11, 1915

"Were it not for the uncertainty of the future which we so soon have to face, I do not see how I could not possibly be happier than I am at the present moment, but be the future what it may, I am perfectly prepared to face it with a full trust in God that he will direct us and help us to help ourselves and once more reunite us to those who are dear to us at home.

Whatever happens His will will be done and by it we must all abide. I hesitate to write what may be thought hypocritical cant but I am sure that signs are not wanting that there are may here who offer up silent prayer from their heart depths & thanksgiving for His mercy in sparing us so providentially thus far & who ask His aid in guiding us safely through this trying time."
