To St.Agnes (older girls) meeting in morning, very few there.

Then confabbed with Pat Cullinan re Merchant of Venice play outside Leprosarium (Pat's billet).

Very lean meals.

Matriculation exams on. ((organised by teachers in camp for students of right age)).

News of landing of task force in West Luzon; rumours of repatriation; of men being sent to Formosa, and of bread supply at weekend.

Mr. de Martin's lecture on Words in our room very good.  I was in bed for it. ((Thus made more room for others attending.))
