You need a complete rest. You don't know how tired you are. The excitement of the war 
has kept you going. Your reserve strength may be gone. You may be on the verge of a break- 
down. Plan a fishing trip. Make it long enough so that you can “let down” clear to the bottom, 
and then build up clear to the top ready for the hard work of reconstruction. You will need all 
your strength and patience and good judgment to make the most of this after-the-war readjust- 
ment.
