31 Dreaming of - last night. Was thinking of boyhood days & wondering who would be lucky enough to see Australia again. Face has filled out wonderfully. Slight attack of dysentery & pains in stomach Gold Cap fitted satisfactorily this afternoon. [in margin] Sunday
Nov 1 Went to Church last night (Methodist) Rather good Sermon too. Up late this morning 7 am. Feeling a bit off. Several new patients arrived. - Shifted my bunk. -
2 Up late again & slept badly. There's a Yank here wrote what he calls poetry about our charge at Lone Pine on 6th Aug. Its awful stuff. (6 Pcs & 2 letters) – Showed the Yank some good poetry (taken from The Sydney Sun)
