Submitted by Barbara Anslow on Mon, 2012-02-13 21:53Book / Document:Date(s) of events described:Thu, 25 Jun 1942Today's reported rumour is that Eden is again talking repatriation for us.
Mabel much brighter today. Military Hospital question has arisen again, but I don't think I should go, even if I had the chance, but I mean to read up Home Nursing and First Aid just in case. Mabel agrees that we wait and see who arrives ((from the Hosp., in case her friends come to Stanley on transfer))
Canteen - we've restocked the larder on Mabel's $17.40.
