September 1, 1944 (Friday)
Took a bath this morning and got up about noon or one o’clock. All away this afternoon so I wrote Mom and Barbara.
Nothing else much to say. War news extremely good. Canadians entered Dieppe today – big news to the Canadians.
Mrs. G. served the tin of blueberries for dinner tonight – they’d never seen anything like them before. Thought they were quite good.
