Primary tabs
Shanghai people vaccinated this afternoon, but whether or not they will be going soon is in question because now a case of diphtheria is in camp - Mrs. Williams, who was in our room on Friday visiting Mrs. K. Good work for Dr Y-E to diagnose right away. Consternation and panic as soon as the Jap authorities knew. Mrs Drown's concert cancelled, or postponed, and presumably all gatherings will be banned - Nativity plays etc. - another strange Christmas. Such a pity when everyone has been trying to make it as gay as possible under the circumstances. Hospital out of bounds to visitors.
Bridge tonight, I played with Kelly and let him down badly, through ignorance principally. Tony came up and joined in.
Father Hessler asked Mum to be President of the Ladies' Catholic Action Group, which she will. She had a blood count, - OK; still having thiamine dosing, her leg much better.
