    A very blue day. It was cold and rainy. Capt. went to Ligny. Capt. Marryple and Lt. Russel went to Harve. We had supper and wrote some letters and got to bed early.

    Had breakfast and off to shopping. I got shoes and a rain coat. Was measured for a new dress. They pin a muslin on you and cut it to fit and its fine. Then to lunch. Out to finish shopping. Then we all had a bath and shampoo. Had dinner and then we all took a walk to see the city at night. It is a sad place, plenty of soldiers and sorrow. We have much to be thankful for.

    Goodbye to St. Jorve. Capt. Bishop went to Sammy. We backed the boys and made hot cakes and finished packing. Hickie and Col. came for dinner, and we had none but helped get things on the truck. Left and got Capt. Lad and went to Ligny. Then to Paris. Oh my, the fun was great. We had dinner on the train and arrived at midnight. Went to the hotel and was glad for a bed. Got in bed with the desire to sleep.

    Had good news. Col. came and told us we were going with the boys. It was what we wanted but oh my, the packing up. The boys helped and we had lots of fun. How we laughed. It made light of the work; it was soon done. The soldiers were very glad when they heard we were going with them. Then we went home and packed our own things and it took us till midnight. But it was great, going.

    Lt. was told that she was to go to another place. All was well but Capt. B. and Lt. were out walking and Capt. Y. and I kept house. It was a great time. They ask me if we are going with them and we want to go.

    A busy day. Made pies and donuts. The boys are to leave. We have been out of flour and sugar all week and cooked only what the different ones would bring. It was fine.

    It was one fine day. We cleaned up and had dinner then Capt. and Lt. went away. Capt. and I kept house. Bell came to see us and was a welcome visitor. Hickie came and brought supplies and stayed for supper. We had a wonderful meeting. The hut was crowded and the men enjoyed the talk and the singing. Fifty men raised their hands for prayers. It was a wonderful time. Went home at night tired but happy because God has blessed and cheered some of our brave boys. The end of a wonderful day.

    Had a pleasant visit from Clare and Renton. They had dinner and told us all the news. Fred wouldn’t eat slum. He took Lt. Young to another place. The night was the busy time. We made hot cakes and served them out of the pan to the men. It took just three to a man and made about three thousand. It was lots of fun. We stayed up till about ten and were very tired. Only, the joy of making others happy.
