News arrived in Camp but I’ll get it tomorrow.

Getting very fed up with this combined Bakery & Kindergarten. ((What does that mean?))

Comments

On June 15 Jones notes 'Hill up again' and on July 4 that he didn't hear Hill's early morning baking efforts this time. I think that he lived near a building that was a bakery by night and a kindergarten by day and the noise was annoying him - especially when it came from Hill, who Jones felt had failed to pay his pre-war debts.
