Post cards from the Troops etc. are materialising at last.   We have to pay 8 cents each ((to get a post card to send)).

Mabel went to Dr Talbot ('Harry') who sent her to hospital.  She has got thin again, says she often feels dizzy.  ((The trouble was with her goitre))

Father Moore came over and gave us some cocoa and sugar and milk.  He and the other young Maryknoll Fathers are going out tomorrow ((into town, with the hope of eventually being allowed to go to their Missions or USA)).
