On Sunday I went home, arriving just in time for Evensong, and so played the organ, was out of practice & made many mistakes. Mary was still at home. No notice has been taken of her letters in the OC we are all more & more convinced that Mrs Rose & the matron are at the bottom of the whole affair & have worked against Mary, and told Mrs Buller a lot of lies, because Mary knew of their dishonest practices.

On Monday morning we went to Castle Head & wandered down to the river. The tents[?] were lovely & so were the Osmandia[?] which were all turned golden. It was such a joy to walk through woods again & get a breath of air, after the stuffy streets. Back to work on Tuesday.

The news from the East is bad, Germany & Bulgaria have joined hands in ‘Serbia’& now the communication is open right through to Constantinople. According to the papers we have sent out a force of 13,000 men to Serbia, and what will be use of that little number. Soon there will be no more Servia, like Belgium it will be wiped out. So altogether what with the long lists of casualties, & nothing gained with it the outlook is depressing.
