wards, with our little masks on. The fellows were darlings, as was their red headed nurse. I taught one fellow in a room how to stencil a Christmas card & left him making great plans. The ones in the rooms in each ward are the sickest. Tomorrow I hope to go to some other wards & help Miss Schmidt again. This morning we got up at 7, dressed, ate at a lunch wagon on the way & walked out. I punched lacing holes in a wallet for a ward patient & then was in the craft shop all afternoon. I was supposed to be off duty tonight, but they were having an orchestra & a chorus, so I stayed a while & a couple of the girls brought me out. There is a bus that stops right in front of the hospital and brings us within four blocks of Mrs. Smith's where we stay. Mary Bess hasn't come in yet. I'm glad you're taking good care of yourself. Keep it up! You don't need to worry about my conditions & I haven't yet lost enough to reach my normal weight, I'm sure, & every pound off is an improvement. How are your teeth? You didn't say how the x-ray turned out, & I'm wondering about it. We are going to start our typhoid
