Yesterday evening Mrs Worthington took Mary & me to see the Belgians at the hostels, to choose a family to send to Kelly. We selected one that we thought would do, and I wired to Mr Smith to say that they were ready, and all arrangements were made to send them off to day by the 1.14 train. This afternoon I went up to No. 3 hospital, & Mary showed me over it, then we went for a turn on a tram [tk] to get the air.

Came back to Deller’s were we met D who was up for a committee meeting of the Devon Patriotic Fund. Mary Hillyard also joined us there. After tea Mary & I went to the Church House where we had supper, & met there other V.A.D. people.

When I got back to the Worthington’s I was greeted with the tale that our refugees had returned. The poor things were frightened at the stillness & also the wood. They were all in floods of tears & had to be sent back to Exeter. So ends the chapter of the Belgian family at Kelly.
