The soldiers are so well provided for that I should think that some of them would almost hate to leave; but oh, Poodie, it is so terrible to see them, many so young, without arms or legs and one whose head was almost blown off, so grateful to have a new glass eye put in him the other day. Soon they are going to make him a nose.
As they will not have been in any other ward, they cannot make any comparisons or complain." "I know, Poodie, that you would like some things here very much the simplicity of everything and the independence of people. I think it is only possible with a recognized aristocracy when people do not have to explain themselves and are established.
Dear Poodie, I wish you could really know what I feel and mean. I think if in recent years you had been in contact with the peace and simplicity of Europe in general, you would see what makes me shrivel with most Americans, because I am not above and beyond it as you are.
If you do not think this, then there is only the other extreme of austere abnegation of self for any cause however trivial. Nature is the only guide and I don't believe Nature is bad. Of course the curse of freedom will allow one for a long time to distort and vilely modify natural instincts, but at least one can fly from the too palpable artificial. Dear Poodie, don't sigh.
O, Poodie, I cannot describe it to you. The hospital itself is all right enough, but the poor people! There are 3,000 there. We are in the surgical section for women. It is very various and valuable experience as you learn everything in a short while, but I would not care to prolong it."
I feel so stirred up I really almost wish I was a man and could enter into the question and do something." "Poodie, Poodie, do you realize that I am almost an old lady of 28. It seems so funny for that is really honorable 60 is young beside it. I wish you could see the sky here. Such sunsets I have never seen every day different and the colors on the lake unimaginable.
"No one could offer more generously what unfortunately I feel that I may never have. Don't misunderstand me, dear Poodie, but my 'home' was forever lost when Mama left me and I can never find it except with her. I am Mama's own and my 'home' such as you mean it can only exist in memory and anticipation." "I am thankful to God that I am left on earth with such aunts as you and Pats.
Petersburg 1906. She is so urgent about my staying altogether in the community that it makes it very hard to leave. At last I seem to have found something where I am thought to be very useful and I have fitting qualities, but alas so far from Poodie and Pats that it is not possible.
Poodie, really how far people live from each other and how little one can dream of this life if one has not been in it. Perhaps other people understand things more or realize more, but with all I have seen and heard and read, that is simply being born to something entirely unknown besides all the feelings one experiences oneself in being thus shut off from everything.
The people here really are out of their minds. The ones that think that these murders are for an 'idea. O, Poodie, I have learned so much since I have been here." "One sister, Sister Pavlova, is very nice an aristocrat of correct views and a great satisfaction. She was two years at the War in a contagious hospital." Finland 1906.
