NURSE V. SCOTT.

Nurse Veir Scott, late of the staff of the Broken Hill and District Hospital, writing from No. 15 General Hospital, Alexandria, under date of October 8, to Matron Gluyas, states:

"We hare a few Australian sisters' and a good many New Zealand ones, but I would rather work for the English sisters from what I have seen of them, also the English medical officers. They are absolutely tip-top to work for. It is so different from the other hospitals, where you have to wait on them. ' If you have any stray bobs about, please send me some 'fags' for my boys, as there is nothing they like better.  I was sent out to, a convalescent home for nurses for a week owing to being off colour after a bad throat. The place is called Aboukir (it is where Nelson fought the battle of Aboukir), and is an ideal place for a rest. A very rich man (a Mr Alderson) loaned his house-boat and house to the Red Cross Society for the use of the sisters, and the place is run by big daughter. The house-boat is in about 8ft. of water, so we had swimming three times a day.  We had donkeys and camels to ride whenever we felt inclined and the use of a sailing boat."
