Had a good dinner, then went on deck. We were taken to the hospital & it is wonderfully fitted up for a hos ship hospital. The matron is a charming woman. & we all love her & wish she were to be always with us.The other nurses uniforms are not nearly so well made as ours, & the indoor dresses are not all one color, some are grey, much lighter than ours, & some are almost blue. Matron is very annoyed about it. They are a very noisy crowd from Sydney but the New Zealand ones are very nice & we all think will get on very well.Slept soundly all night, up at 7.15. a.m. Breakfast at 8.30.p.m. & am up on deck now. Will add more later on. Am feeling splendid enjoying every meal, it is very calm. Sister Newton is very well today & gave us a great treat with singing & playing this afternoon. Cannot say where we are but send letters to Sister Thistlethwaite 1st Aust. Gen. Hosp. Egypt. Hope you are all well & happy. I am feeling splendid & sleeping soundly. Fondest love & kisses. From your loving daughter.Edith
