He was very queer per sonage, wounded what we were go- ing to do with him because the Ger man tell them tales about us. He was wounded in the leg and shoulder and had a wound over his eye. I took down his dressing. bathed his wound, and got him ready for the operating room and he watched me with great inter- est all of the time. These past few days have been happy ones for me. So busy and full of work, but one gets big satisfaction in really doing somee thing. The front seems rather quiet to- day.
