With this exception. Night shirts
would also come in handy. 1t would
aiaiy be nice for the mother who

him a night shirt, and in case he did
t need it. some boy there who hasn't
mother would probably appreciate
it.
While there my wife called for a
wash rag to wash our boys face. The
nurse told her they didn't have any
wash rags, and told her to use the pill
