209. Dessie was bombed this morning between 8 and 9 o’clock by about 10 Italian planes. American Seventh Day Adventists Hospital marked with Red Cross said to have been struck but no one hurt although two rooms said to have been destroyed. No foreigners reported killed or wounded, but about 25 natives. Reports so far conflicting. Shall report further as soon as I receive reliable news.
