Today I saw Prof. Digby re my in growing toe-nail and tho. he has been attending to it for a while and endeavouring to care by Heath Robinson arrangement of thread, he has now decided to operate and I'm to enter Tweed Bay Hospital tomorrow evening and get it cut on Monday morning. The trouble with my toe has been due to shoes which are of course a serious problem in this camp. My own ones are completely worn out and I've had to wear rubbers and another pair of shoes, the good are not my own and sharp-toed and consequently my left big toe has suffered.
