    Cholera and typhoid injections - in one from Dr Selby.

    Got 1 lb sugar (Yen 1) for Mum, and one for Mabel from Medical Canteen.

    Dug up some of our own sweet potatoes - enormous, but not really sweet.  Fried them tonight - we had pork fat for tiffin luckily.

    Finished writing Chapter 4.

    Played bridge in evening. Mrs Franklin kindly gave me a piece of pastry crust.
