Lovely day. Heard from Mary, who said that there are only 3 cases in the hospital so far, so her work is light. The building, which was a boarding out home for children is perfectly fitted up as a hospital.

However, also from Florence T who told me that her nephew Harry Rogers was in the Monmouth, which was sunk 2 days ago in S America by a German ship. The paper stated that our into rough weather none of the crew were saved.

As regards the campaign in France, one might make one statement which will do for all time. On our left wing the allies continue to hold their own, in the centre after repeated attacks from the enemy the line is held. On the right wing there is nothing new.

Went into Launceston in the afternoon to attend Tamar Club Book Committee.
