Transcription Notes
Breakfasted at 9 and we soon saw we were in for a terribly hot day and our fears were realized though in such a comfortable cool house we could bear it without distress. Sat out in the shade in the morning, Maud, Lily, Mrs Storrows and I and a very pleasant desultory talk. Lunched at 1, rested afterwards and had some more talking etc till dinner when Mr Storrow returned from his day’s gardening. In the evening Maud and I regaled the company with many songs. The company included Lily’s nurse — a very uninteresting "sympathetic" individual — and a head nurse who is eventually to take charge of the patients when the house is turned into a hospital for wounded American soldiers! Lily is still very unwell and I do not look forward with much confidence to the results of her confinement next January. It is rather a tragedy in its way as her husband left for France about a fortnight ago. News from the front very good and exciting.Location
