Monday 22nd Nov
Up very late this morning. I did not like to leave my bed. Had wash & a drink of tea. Saw Capt Stowe and spent most of the day buying & marking my cases. It was well after dinner when I had finished & I then went to the Wash Tent and fortunately secured a little hot water – what a luxury. I then stripped & bathed. How I enjoyed it.
