passports take considerable
time. This is an awfully
long start, but it won't need
to be long like this always.
This is really only a
prologue. It's only 8:00 p.m. -
but I am tired - doing
nothing- and am all ready
for bed. Wrote to Mother &
Aunt Jessie so Happy yesterday.
-Hope to get a letter soon.
they are such cheering
things to receive when one
is a little Homesick.
I want to go downtown
tomorrow & see about a
dress- also get my letters
for passport-and see
everybody at the Hospital.
Goodnight for now dear
dairy We started fairly
well anyway.
