Left for the hospital at nine and had a very rainy ride but got home safe. Got busy attending the canteen. Heard many stories of the front. Served 8 tanks of coffee. Made coffee for all the guards at night and they enjoyed it. Had C. Johnson, a newspaper man, for lunch. Rich was here and he told me about the others and many funny stories. Got to bed at 12.
