Scope and content
39 Royal Terrace, Edinburgh, 7. - Their current nurse is Australian, and wants to go home; a boat under convoy leaves at the end of the month, which is much sooner than Clara expected; she has been writing to Miss Monks, who cannot come until the end of April or May, so asks if Bessie knows of someone to 'bridge the gap'. Asks if Bessie thinks Miss Monks will like them, and whether she is 'active and fairly strong' as Donald cannot walk without help. He 'overdid things' when they first returned, is a little 'clearer in his mind' but not much improved otherwise.
