Letter from Olive Duffin to her mother, November 1915
1
D2109/9/4/B 2 Tablot Square Wed:Nov 1915 Dearest Mamma Just a line to tell
you that Celia
has influenza. She worried she could not
smell me yesterday. This morning a note
came saying she had mumps, &
was summoned to quarantine. I have just been
telephoning the hospital & a nice person
came and said it was the “flue” and she was getting
on well & would be back on duty in a
few days! I’ve not gone to see her because
of this reason. I thought I ought not to
chance catching it off her. I have just
written to Celia, telling her to let me know
if she wants anything. And I will send her
some flowers and fruit. Her address is
5 Eastfield Gardens, Landsworth. l am so relieved it is not mumps,
just off to see Iris & then off to
Eastmine. Your loving,
Olive
