Title

Letter from Georgia Finley to her mother

Description

Georgia Finley writes to her mother after returning from vacation, telling her "I have been busy visiting the hospitals with the mess officer and looking over some work which we expect to begin soon." Georgia writes, "There is no telling when I shall be home. If the war ends quickly I might be home in a few months and then it may be many. I received recently a letter from Dr. Bryan officially extending my leave of absence from the university until next February. I am in hope to be able to go from one work to the other without much loss of time." Georgia concludes her letter by noting that "We certainly shall be glad to have it end and be back to our former work."
