Death of Essie Jean Greenburg at the age of 46.
Mrs. Greenburg was a hotelier who'd put her 44 room premises on the market about two years before the war, citing ill health as the reason for sale.
In Chungking Phyllis Harrop wakes up at 9 a.m. after a night of deep sleep. During breakfast she is telephoned and told that a car will be sent to take her to the British Press Office and that meanwhile she mustn't talk to journalists. At the Press Office she meets two old friends, one of them Ronnie Holmes a colleague from Hong Kong.
