Eavan,
I find that doubtful. I've had many years of dealing with patients. Some I'd never like to see again if I can help it. You, however, I wouldn't say no to seeing daily. But I am glad to be of some help even if it is just distracting you with letters. If I could send something else, I would. They won't let me leave the infirmary though.
And I hadn't realized anything in regards to Egypt. We were hit with abnormally large hail as well as rain that was on fire. I took
a large piece of hail to the shoulder, the bruise is quite awful but I fared better than some. A few in our group were burned by the rain. We had to hunker down under a porch until it ceased. And then I broke my ankle not long after. I have heard from Miss Scrimgeour, though. She mentioned mosquitos and malaria so that fits with your mention of Egypt.
If I could look for him, I would. I'll keep an ear out about one though. Perhaps one of your cousins could be of assistance?
Yours,
Fletcher
