s heartbroken. We called her Copper Nob, because she had such lovely red hair. Most of the wounded soldiers have quite lost their nerve. When they hear that aeroplanes are coming they are quite panic-struck. We were to have had practice this morning with balloons; one man fled. We have such a number of hooded crows here, and some birds called golden oriole. Monday, _June 21, 1915._ Nothing of interest has happened this evening. We still have crowds of visitors every day to see the camp. Tuesday, _June 22, 1915._ I am still not allowed out of my tent. I just feel like a naughty child who has been sent to her room. My temperature will not be obedient and go to its normal condition. To-day three of our unit who have been ill have gone for a few days to Vrynatchka Banja to Dr. Berry's unit. When they return the doctors want me to go. We are just in the midst of another bad storm. Wednesday, _June 23, 1915._ Two of the second Farmer's unit have come to see our Field Hospital to-day; they are from Pojeropatz.

I am to be sent for four or five days' change to Dr. Berry's unit at Vrynatchka Banja. It is almost thirty miles from here, and a glorious place I hear. We shall motor over. No more of our patients have typhoid. Twenty-six of our unit have been ill all together; some have been very serious cases. I have had a greater power of resistance owing to my inoculation; most of those who have had typhoid were inoculated just before coming out here. Saturday, _June 26, 1915._ I have been allowed out to-day. Dr. Dearmer arrived from Salonika yesterday, with two cooks, five nurses and a
