Ground rice for bread & for Mary.
Roll Call cancelled.
St. David’s Concert at St. Stephen’s. Went off OK.
North’s notes compiled from recently arrived Nippon Times make very heartening reading & we wonder that the Germans have stuck it so long.
Roy had letter from Connie (Sept ’42) nothing new in it apparently. Plumb also had one from Jillott [?] All seems to be well with them all down there. Fuggle in a sawmill, Merriman & Jillott in Dept. of Mental Hygiene (Lunatic Asylum) Perry in Air-craft works, all on pension scale wages. ((Who was Roy? I guess the names were of people that had moved to Australia?))
