There are civilian sick as well as military wounded to be cared for, of course. ‘We: flew about and got it all done in time. 1 selected twelve cases of boxes, sending all the gause for the order and the cotton pads in that form. Seventeen cases had arrived that morning, providentially, as our stock was badly depleted.

I am keeping them for the spring rush and am so glad to have them. Thank you all very much.
