England, Russia and Italy have all declared war on Bulgaria. Greece is still hesitating. There is some mystery about the Dardanelles as Sir Ian Hamilton is coming home. Things are not progressing out there. Miss Buller has been asked for some V.A.D. nurses for foreign service, a notice is up at the hospital asking for the names of those willing to go. What I did go, but should I be of any use? Cannot make up my mind on the matter.

Dorothea came off to day & she & I and Todd were to hear Isagi played the violin. A very wonderful player, it was a great treat to listen to some really good music.

The baby is now a week old and all is going well. I see Evelyn every evening & both see & hear the baby. She is very tiny and as yet it is difficult to see any likeness every now and then she looks like a father. She has beautiful little hands with long pointed fingers.

This evening I did the dressings in my ward. Sister went off for the half day, & left all for me to do. True, the dressings are not big ones, & only two had to be done, but it was rather cheering having the responsibility.

We have a new nurse called Hearn who seems very nice & willing to learn.
