She is a very sweet, loyal, just woman but I c\ncannot frankly say that I always enjoy working with her. In the first place she\nis all tired out and has lost her enthusiasm. She has to force herself to make th\nthings go and besides that she admits she is getting \"ordental\" and finds it easy\nto put off things. She is far from well and has spent on the average of four days p\nper month in bed since I have been here. From what they all say she has changed\ntremendously and I think it is because of her physical state, although she claims\nshe feels 5000/0 better than she did four months ago. I have tried to get her\nto go away for a rest but she in one of those people who will not even take an\nafternoon and putters around until midnight doing unnecessary things. You cannot\ndrag her out to an entertainment where she gets a different atmosphere. The only\nthing I can ever get her to go to is the book Club where they discuss light,\nfrivolous things like the Dawes Plan etc. I learned soon after I came here we\ncould not work and play together because I cannot talk yshop\" eighteen hours\na day and od enthusiastic work when I am officially on duty. Consequently I\nalready know far more people in Sofia than Miss Torrance and have had a perfectly S\nsplendid time socially. I like the people, have gained in weight, am very happy and\nhave been able to turn off considerable work. Miss Torrance insists that she\nhas to go home this summer. It is a pity, as this is her piece of work, her plan\nand I think she should finish it altho I really cannot see how she can do so\nunless she takes an extended vacation and her health improves.\"\nsee letter filed 502.
