'Last night I sent a field service card just to let you know that I received the parcel alright on Sunday. It was packed very well. There was a lot of stuff in it, and it was quite exciting exploring it, which I did just before going to Church ... Now I must thank you for all the good things you have sent ... It is quiet here now. Not many patients in. One in our ward was shot in the side below the ribs, and the bullet is up in his neck. He was digging at the time in the dark. He is propped up in bed and quite cheerful, eating, reading and sleeping ... The Advertisers were interesting. I read them both yesterday afternoon, and all of young Corbishley's letters.'
