22nd February, 1992 Dear Robyn, After reading the copy of the transcript of our interview 13/12/91, there are just a few matters I would like to draw to your attention. 0.22 I have referred to Sister Barnes’ Hospital as a Nursing Home, but this is not correct. It was a Private Hospital for Mothers and Babies, so I should have called it a Maternity Hospital. Could you please adjust this. Sister Barnes was a fully qualified Sister, and occasionally helped out with the other medical problems in the town, but mainly she dealt with Mothers and Babies. I have been told that she was a wonderful woman – at times she would even sleep on a mattress on the floor to make room for extra Mothers in her Hospital. 3.51 When I said our toilet was ‘out the back’ maybe I should have explained more fully that it was a separate small timber building about 20 feet from the back door. It contained a wooden seat with a black Sanitary Can underneath; the used Can was removed every week by the 2/ Sanitary Carter and replaced by a clean empty can. 9.42 When I left school I went in to Sydney where I attended Peacocks’ Comptometer College in Martin Place. (You might like to edit the spelling.) Thank you for the tape and I hope the photos turn out well. Yours sincerely, (Mrs) Win Phillis.
