We heard from Bob yest. He is at present in a former German trench so we conclude he must be near the front. He says the conditions are indescribable.

Dorothea went off to London on Tuesday. I was to have gone with her but the Doctor said I was not fit to travel, so she went alone & on Wednesday went with Ursula to see a doctor, who told her to go and see another doctor.

Father heard from Aunt Sophy yest. Saying that they had orders to leave Folkestone. The Govt gave them a grant of £70 with which to pay for the storage of their furniture.

I went to Hurlditch to lunch. Mrs R told me that she had had such interesting letters from Dick who was in the Battle of the Ancre attached to the Naval division.
