ceived a letter from their son, Mr..
Kent Mo1eypenny, who is with an
ambulance company somewhere in

life but that they were kept very
busy. He said he had driven a car
seventy-two hours without sleep, with
nothing to eat and very little to drink.
He said the wounded were coming in
by the thousand and that all the
treatment they had had was first aid.
He added that he expected a trip to
the front almost any day. The hos
pital is in a 100000 chateau, the
decorations of which are perfectly
marvellous.
