Kendray. 11.11.44                                                                                                        210 My Very Own Darling, Have not much news for you but thought that I would like to write you a letter. I came off duty about half an hour ago after a fairly busy evening but then, a busy evening here is nothing compared with the busy evenings I have had in the General. Kit and I have still not really settled here.   Of course we have got to know the place better now but the work still does not interest me.   There is no...

Nurses Home, Kendray Hosp: Barnsley 6.11.44                                                                                      207 My Precious Darling, I hope to finish writing this letter to-night but there is very little ink in my pen and I have not brought any with me.
