Ol and I each received $15 from Govt. source.

Mum came down to office and used sewing machine there, working on our khaki things.  On way home she fell and made a mess of her leg, so to Outpatients - she had anti-tetanus, and thiamine injections;  she must have more thiamine because she had a floppy foot ((which caused the fall)).

Received 2 vests each and a pair of long socks from Red Cross.

Rumour about an Italian priest in town having been murdered. ((NB, I think this proved to be true but have forgotten the priest's name))
