The hidden thermometer trick is still working. There are two nurses: one is a simpleton, and the other seems more clever. They alternate days. Today I had a visit from an Italian woman married to a German, Mrs. Porri and another Italian woman. They bring me newspapers in which I hope to read about the end of this war. Before leaving, they suggest that when I leave the hospital I should go to the Fascist Headquarters and ask for some clothing, which I am in need of.
