    Finished writing story - 'Limelight on the Lower Fifth', not very satisfied with the ending. Very flattered today – Mrs Pryde stopped me and talked about my poems. She likes 'School Magazine' best.

    The Red Cross parcels are actually in the camp, brought by boat.

    Betty Drown isn't well, she has flu and tonight Ian Heath played alone ((they often played duets)).

    Mrs. F lent me her story the other day.  I do hope mine doesn't read as disjointedly as hers does to my critical mind.
