Monday 12 August 1918

August 12, 2018 by Sarah McLennan

–– hot

Sent PO for 4/6 to Nat. [Herb-growing] Association London.

In afternoon I walk along to Chislehurst. 3½½ miles from here. Lovely walk through wood. Very pretty villages.

Arrive back @ 7 pm in time for whist drive in the ward given by Sister Gerrard.

Received paintings of family [Escutcheons] from Ernest Draycot Gosport.

*A whist drive is a social event at which progressive games of whist are played.
