still hot enough for us in the day-time.
It is rumoured that we will have to wear nothing but our uniform soon – Wont we look beautiful in our bonnets, especially in this country – Suppose we shall wear helmets. I daresay I shall be on duty next time I write.
Sister Dickenson (Mrs. Barrie's friend) left for Lemnos with 32 others, yesterday morning. They were a bit nervous at going so near the firing line but the sickness there is simply fearful – and require plenty of nurses & doctors – I only wish I had been well enough to go but we are not allowed – only the new reinforcements – hard luck – Have just heard that I'm to go to Alexandria to-morrow, with Sister Knox – she has been on night-duty here & is an awfully nice girl also is a great friend of Essie Craig's & knows Mr. Cunningham, so my luck is in. Shall try & write a few letters from there. This is a rotten letter I know. Taken about 3 hrs to write, interrupted so much.
Fondest love & kisses to you all.
From
Your loving sister,
Edith.
