Unknown letter fragment 1
Found at the back of Vol VI, this fragment takes place in France, so will
be inserted in Vol VII, here, the closest place in the timeline to when it
seems to have been written.
This is a torn page from a letter, no date at top,
Starts with partial word:
"lly blown off but was making excellent progress and expecting to be sent to Blighty
with the next evacuation when I saw him. One of the others was from Stettler."
[Perhaps relating stories of Canadian patients she'd met.]
"I only hope we shan't have to spend a winter here. Things were bad enough in winter
at Sutton Veny but it would be twice as awful here. ... I guess I can, though
if the beastly war doesn't decide to end before then."
Believe written in 1917, she refers to "signed up until December 9th".
