Just come back for a meeting at the Basenfield Hall, at which spoke Dr Mabel Ramsay & a Miss Burke, all about Serbia & the hospital units that the N.U.W.S. has sent out to that place & also to Belgium. Really it makes one rather disgusted with the little one is doing here, when there is so much wanted out there.

Here we are fussing over men who are hardly poorly even, while out there, the men have not even beds to lie on, & very few nurses to look after them. Miss Burke spoke beautifully, & described the work of the Scottish Women’s Hospital Service. Then Dr Ramsay told the story of the Antwerp hospital. I have read it several times, in our suffrage papers, & also read extracts from Dr Florence Storey’s letter to her sister, but it was much more interesting to hear the story from one who had actually been through it all.

What a lot women are doing these times.
