Last night we had an intercession service at 8, a few prayers & 2 hymns, quite a number of people came to it.

It has been wet again today. Yest was a nice day. Father, Bob & I went to Langstone Moortown to call on Goeffrey Coleridge’s family who we heard was there. We found Jessie in. She had only once before seen me, & at first did not in the least know who I was, but when she found out, she was so nice and friendly. She was entertaining a party of wounded soldiers from Tavistock Covalescent hospital & we all had tea together. The 3 boys were there. John is exactly like his father. After tea Geoffrey came in. He is now a lieutenant in the 4th Devons who are in camp on Whitchurch Down. We invited them to come over next sat week which is the day I have to go back to the hospital.
