Left the station about 8 p.m. with our luggage in a Taxi. I'll tell you we were jolly lucky to get one. Arrived at Queen Mary's Hostel, 40 Bedford Place, London W.C. – It is a Hostel for Nursing-sisters & V.A.D.'s – We were invited & am really charmed. shall write & tell you more about it later on.
Had a very comfortable journey down here yesterday. It took nearly all day. Left Lond. at 10 a.m. & reached here 5 p.m. Mrs Copp is a charming woman & has made me very welcome. Sorry I cannot stay longer. Mr. Copp is very kind & good – a little like Mr H. Copp. They have a very comfortable home & are very happy. Poor Mrs. Copp only returned from a Private Hosp. on Friday. Had small operation on her neck/ she is feeling stronger to-day.
Mr. Copp is Mayor of the Town so has a lot of call oon his time & his wife helps him a lot.
