Fine, light E wind.
Peace rumours very strong. Many people preparing their gear ready for packing up.
US plane came over 10am & after 4 attacks sank a small auxiliary vessel working on the boom at the entrance of Stanley Bay. Guards fired from Camp again. A/r alarm till noon.
(Emp. Po Yi [Pu Yi] of Manchuria asked Japs for Peace).
G mit HK ∴ und sie ist sehr hold. [G with HK ∴? and it is very?]
((Jill Fell: RE Jones has used "hold" before of G. "Sie ist sehr hold" means "she is very sweet". Can't remember if HK is one of the Kews who sometimes escorts her.))
