Sunday, 23rd January, 1916
Got a letter from Aunt Lily describing
her journey, how owing to Mother Sills
she was not seasick, but there had been
an accident on the line there was no train
from Holyhead till 3.30 a.m. She only
reached London at 10.30. Where she met
Aunt Jennie & had to be at St. Johns’ Gate
at 12:00. There she was told to be at Euston
at 1:45, it was lucky it was from the same
station she was to start as the luggage did
not come by the train that brought her to
London, fortunately it was at the Station
when she got back. She got safely to
Liverpool but her campkit was missing
there. Anyhow she said she would have a
comfortable bed for the night & was to start
on a hospital ship the next day called —
The “Frankland”. She anticipated it
would be an old tub.
Violet went for a drive with the O’Kellys
It was a very nicely arranged party
Charlie with Aunt Agnes Pearl & Violet with
Bernard.
