April 10, 1915.
We had a severe snow storm to-day and yesterday also, and in between the snow storms it poured rain; all the lovely, spring weather has disappeared.
Wednesday night they announced the arrival of a train of wounded, for the next morning at half-past five, but did not tell us how many to expect. We all went to the Ambulance at half-past five and got everything ready for dressing and beds prepared for thirty. At seven thirteen arrived,—all convalescents, and no dressings at all to do. The last time forty came, and all in a dreadful state of infection, so we never know what to expect.
I am not sorry I came back to Divonne for I feel that I have been able to help more here than in Paris; there they have many to help and here very few.
I am sending you a photo of three of my patients—Chasseurs d’ Alpine or “Blue Devils” as the Germans call them—they are the ones who have done such wonderful work in Alsace.

Called by the Germans “Blue Devils.”
