Item 9 - To 'the old folk at home'

Pretoria. Time spent waiting for the hospital equipment. The search for cheaper quarters, and the occupation of Canon Sidwell's house. Horses drawn for their use. His flirtation with 'most pretty Sister K[endall]'. A service in the Cathedral, sitting behind Lord Roberts and his daughters. The Dutch Church looks horrid. Attempts to 'commandeer' plants by night to beautify Sister K's ward ahead of a visit from General French.
