Unit 14 left here and worked every minute of the day and often until midnight. Yesterday p.m. we took off and went for a walk into the country and it was quite a treat.  Today we start on our last 60 and when they go out Mon. there will be no more coming through this station. We will remain for a time and are hoping to have another "leave" to Paris from here. We see many Nurses whom we know going through here and hear much news. It really is too bad to have accounts like that one you sent me, get into print. for after all, they are sending the boys home as fast as they can put them on the ships. And they can't take back in 4 months all that were brought over in two years. it is also necessary to keep a good many over here but I won't discuss that. 
We have a very comfortable room at the hotel, Miss Root and I have a bath & Mrs. V. the adjoining room. It looks night on the ocean and is nice and sunshiny
