Lab. \"A\"\ns\nAPO 519 U.S.Army\nNew York City, N.Y.\ndated\nFebruary 22, 1943\nA\n-\n<,\nC\nFrance\ne\nII\nYou know that Milly Doane is Chief Nurse and Miss Bacon is Assistant\nChief Nurse. They, too, received letters from you today, so that we had a\ngood time getting together and exchanging notes. Mary Fraser (Black) was\nadmitted this evening to the hospital with just a slight run down condition.\nHer father died a few weeks ago and I believe it was quite a shock to her as\nshe always seemed to think so much of her daddy. Mary seems very happily\nmarried. Fran Bacon, Helen Meyer (a new lab. technician) and I spent fout days\nin London last week. Saw \"Arsenic and Old Lace\" also \"Dubarry was a Lady\" and\nenjoyed both a lot. We saw Mrs. Elcock last Saturday afternoon at the Club\nwhich she runs. She looked a little tired but was happy because she was\nexpecting Mr. Elcock that evening. Both of them are such grand people. You\nknew Miss Westermann was in North Africa. None of us have even had a postcard\nfrom her. Seems awfully strange. We did hear through Charlie that she arrived\nsafely after a little trouble which you folks probably have heard about in\nthe States. Billy Goode and Lois Voas have heard From Bunny, also the Unit\nreceived one letter. She seems to be getting along all right but did say we\nwere awfully lucky to be here with all the conveniences we have. Lois Voas\nis being married to her little seaman the 6th of March. They really are an\nawfully sweet couple. Major Scott, Bill Spring, Bill Hawley, Jack Degen,\nMichael Health, Marie Goik, Maggie Malloy, Betsy Jackson, Mary Jean Mancini,\nLillian Evans, Ann Sundby, are all fine. I had a nice letter from Paul and\nBarhara sometime ago. They seem real happy. They had taken Daddy out for\ndinner and he wrote and said what a grand couple they were. Alice Olson is\nfind and still in her same job. We heard Ruth Kohler was on a ship going to\nPortugal. Elsie Hugo had one letter from her. Audren Dean is the only one\nhere who had heard from Livy Fulton and I believe that was a Chirstmas card.\nAbout us not remaining here, Miss Madley, it is still in a state of revolution;\nwe just do not know what is going to happen so we carry on from day to day and\ndo our best."
