Had breakfast and then made fudge and washed towels and dishes. Adj. came with some things, a stove and other necessaries. Had dinner for five.
Then staff went to Paree with him, and we made donuts all afternoon. The gas plate caught on fire, and some of the boys gave first aid. No harm was done. Made one hundred and fifty donuts. We had supper at seven and commenced to serve coffee and oh they surely did go fast. By eight the donuts looked sick.
The Germans were shooting, and very loud reports could be heard. They kept it up all night and about four it started to rain.
