I am very annoyed at being hunted from one place to another. Lecture on Pruning after dinner. Go up to Hosp after tea. Speak to Sister Roberts about Salonica & Hilda K. awful tale of malaria, wasted lives of beautiful young nurses. We have music from Gramophone. We have a case of Hysteria – He sees things, look at em out there, when He looks at me. Heavy rolling of ship, I sleep next yellow jaundice but only get about 1 hour. Dream I am with Ellis on Lille, Rouen road.
