Dr. Y-E thinks Mabel is in a pretty bad condition, but so far responding well. He says an operation will be necessary at some time – preferably not in the camp. He would like her to have a private room for rest, that she will need careful watching all her life, but that she MIGHT outgrow it.
Such a surprise - Father Moore sent us a parcel from Bethany House, Pokfulam: a lovely big tin of cocoa, a catty of sugar, and a tin of bully, so kind and thoughtful and generous of him. I'll NEVER forget it.
Fried our sweet potatoes tonight, in oil from Mr Anslow ((my father-in-law to be 6 years later!!)) in exchange for some of our potatoes.
