Tuesday. 7th [August 1877]. Worked at making pillows all day. Had Turkish lesson. Miss Boyd went to lawn tennis party given by the Antelopes in Khedive’s garden. There was a tremendous high wind. I went & sat in the grove to work & have tea. A gentleman came from the Red Crescent to see abt fetching the mattrasses we have ready for Kavak hospital. Major de Winton & I went to work room to make bandages with sewing machine & Mr Young who arrived to dine & sleep came to help us. M. Pansa called with a note from Maffei to introduce. He is his secy at Athens. During Dinner Mr Young gave us dreadful details of the state of wounded.
