17 August 1915; Tuesday
On parade as usual. Went in to Wesleyan Soldiers’ room. Miss Inwood1 came in. We had a long talk before I went with her to their house. She told me she was 18 and that she was training to be a school teacher, and I told her all sorts of things about home and such like. Stayed to supper.
