June 1st 1915 - Letter from Mela Brown Constable to her fiancé, Cyril E Sladden Esq

Sisters' Quarters, University House

1^st Southern General Hospital, Birmingham

June 1^st 1915

My own dear Cyril

I’m scribbling this while waiting to be interviewed by the Matron and Medical Officer in attendance.

First impressions very good – am billeted in the Sisters’ Quarters for which I am very thankful, and not in the houses in the Bristol Road.  There is a beautiful garden and the room I share with Miss Holtom from Cleeve overlooks it.  It is a very nice airy room.

Mustoe gave me some beautiful flowers before I came away.

I have already seen several nurses I know who are now Sisters, so do not feel very strange.

No time for me.

Best love from

Mela.
