I have this week received two

more parcels from the Queen Mary Needlework Guild -one the fur

coat and the other the blankets-

such useful warm things, and I hear

at the Post Ofifce. Please thank the Guild most warmly on behalf of our unfortunate people, whose courage has to be seen to be be- llievcd.

We have not been able to live in our fiat since our Blitz on Jan. 13th. The windows have not been put in since December raid. but this fresh one burst the gas and electricity supply for the whole town, and as that is my only source of heat except an oil stove and the weather was fcarfully cold, we could not live there. Lady Flynn carried us off to Roborough House, which is five miles out. on the 15th and we spent l0 days there. I can't tell you how thankful we were to 5ll._by a. fire get hot baths and sleep in peace in our beds, instead of in the cellar or under the stairs on the floor. You will have read about this one in the papers, for the name was given for the first time. though we have had 270 raids altogether. Now we are boarding in a charming country house, as paying guests, about 10 miles out, and go- ing in by train every day to our work. We get our midday meals at the flat, as I have a little electric cooker and that is working again We don't expect to haye gas before June, as 90 miles of gas main have to be lcid first. ‘Ilieze were hundreds of people homeless this time, largely througn as bombs. hut the casualties were ew on the whole. Even tiny children now know hgw to deal with fire bombs and put them out. 'I'hey showered 10000 on us this time. besides H E. which fell all around us. We sat in the cellar list- ening to each one falling, wonder- inlz f that. moment was in be our last

We are close to both Hospitals which both got. direct hits and suffered much damage. It is such a rest to spend the nights out of town. Plane; m? overhead but we are not n. big get, so hope to os- eepe the‘r attentions. Anyhow the war is going on well and all the civilized world is on our side. I hear you have lots of our boys training with you. being done to of their lives. Don't steal too mam’ of them for good. for we shall want tmem all afterwards.

Many grateful thanks iio you all.
