My darling,

Have had a very usual day today. Went to work this morning and stayed on the ward most of the morning. Didn’t have much to do but did manage to make a morning out of it.

This afternoon I got some good rest. Slept for about two hours and then went down on the ward. After checking up on the ward, we had a volley ball [sic] game.

Still haven’t received your address yet. Suppose I should continue sending your mail to Ridgeway.

Love always
“Boobie’”
