My dear Old Belle,

I think it is your turn for a letter this time. Well, I have just written a long letter to Nellie Moore. I told you she sent me two handkerchiefs & a nice letter for Xmas, well I've just been able to answer it.

I was on duty all last Sunday & Monday but do not get tired so much here, only very sleepy.

It is a very quiet place, no township for us to go to but just like a little country town.

We are awfully comfortable here, our Home is very very cosy & our food excellent. Sister O'Reilly is a splendid housekeeper. Our Matron is a very sweet woman & very just besides a very charming manner. We are getting the hospital fixed-up, & have another house now for sick officers. Sister A.K. Hart & I are nursing them, she is the same Sister Hart who
