Today George Wright-Nooth finds that 'a great feeling of lassitude' has come over him, and he's generally weak. He's heard from others they have the same 'spells'. He weighs himself and discovers he's lost 10 pounds - others have lost up to 60.
On his walk he meets L. E. Lammert, the head of a large auctioneering house, who tells him that he hopes his son is alive. Wright-Nooth knows he isn't, but doesn't take away his hope.

'a great feeling of lassitude'
I like R E Jones' description of this. In several diary entries he writes that he's suffering from campitis!
