<html>JUNE - 1918
-15
     Another uneventful week of
hospital life - [pa...?] about worried
gone but [sinus? per.....] requir-
ing daily dressing. Sleeping
well and feeling [?] - Awfully
anxious to get back go [?]. I
feel fit for duty of some kind. 
More than ever does one see
inefficiency and lack of sys-
tem about here. Certainly would 
hate to be real sick in a hos-
pital of this type. Majority of
[?] seem uninterested in 
their patients. K.O. ordered to other
command and raised to Lt.Col. His
general opinion of him is far
from good. Saw [?] Liberty
[?] air-plane [?] of
16th, two flew over hospital
at about 7000, a delightful
sounding engine.
[?] [?] by are picnic
in woods on Friday 14th having 
supper there. Into the city 15th visiting
Market places and museum, see-
ing, many interesting [?] and 
original paintings, among them
being saddle and a tea set- medals
sword and some letters of Napoleons
The dog of his stuffed [?] in glass 
case (Coach-dog). The original 
life size painting of "Murder
of Abel". Egyptian relics, pieces of 
[stat....?]  busts and [?] All quite 
interesting. Queen Anne furniture.
16-23
     Routine life in hospital 
varied by occasional visit to 
town [?] very little there of
interest. Daily dressings continue
The 22nd Saturday being the 
15th anniversary of my wedding
to the best and sweetest girl, every
thing even to the weather seemed 
to help me celebrate, a most
perfect day- best meal we've
had for some time and seven letters
arrived from [Ditty?]. Past 15 yrs
convinces me that no one ever
loved a more deserving girl.</html>
