Tue, 18 Nov 1941
Arthur came in from camp unexpectedly, and we had tea in Cecil Hotel.
Mum started work at Mr. Addis Martin's today. ((Mum had been interviewed by Mr Addis Martin the previous week, she had applied for job of a live-out supervisor of his baby daughter Jean then 7 months old. Mrs Addis Martin had cancer and died when Jean was about 5 months old. There were amahs in the house to do all the housework, washing, etc., but Mr A M wanted a motherly figure to supervise Jean's care. Mum loved the job from the start, she went there daily.))
