It is so sad to lie in the hut waiting and seeing all the other girls [indecipherable word] and playing the ball. I’m longing this moment when I shall be able to leave the bed and see you. With a great impatience I wait [sic] your letter, it must be long. My friend, who will hand you my note, will go to [sic] for the letters. To-day she will [indecipherable word] some news from you at 3 o’clock. Your note was handed to me at 5 o’clock, for it was in the hands of somebody unknown.
