Dear Mary,&#13;
I received your letter at last. You did take your time in answering it and there was not too much news when it did come however I have not much to say myself so must not speak. So you are having a busy time in hospital. Is it the cold weather that is sending so many to you or have you wounded? Yes I heard you were at home for a weekend. It does not seem very difficult for you to get home I wish it was as easy for me. But although I got the chance again from here I dont think I would go as it is so far &amp; so short a time at home. Poor Chrissy seems to have been very bad but I hope she about alright now Nellie was never a very successful photographer but if one of the whole group came out well it is not so bad. As Phemie may change lodgings the one letter will do as you can give it to her. Write soon.&#13;
Dear Phemie,&#13;
I received your letter last night and as you see Mary also so I am taking the two birds with one shot economy you know. My word you did not do bad at that sale you had It is likely that it was because the girls were [illegible] that there were so many customers. You should see how the French nurses catch us. They know we will give them [illegible] money so there is no passing them. I know quite a few young ladies at Calais now. The pupil is getting on alright but naturally it is a bit difficult for so young a lassie Do you find the lessons difficult now? All lights are red &amp; blue here now and it does look [illegible] It is dark about five Don't be so long in answering this one &amp; be good.&#13;
Love to you both from Dodo&#13;
The old woman is speaking like a mill pay no heed to her [illegible]</text>
