1942

Meeting at Agency for a discussion with Dundas, rather vague & ineffective. He is not impressive but the
B.C. seems ready to assist us financially which is useful.

Dr McD looked in, cross about her car.

Went out to drive pm.

James rode.

Steeles & Vallances to dinner.

Dance at Agency, a gloomy affair as usual. Not very many people & a terrible waste of food, in aid of war
charities etc.

The environment at Agency is apt to be depressing.

Wednesday 26th February

Tiresome interview between Sh A, Vallance and Ahmed Fakroo about V having beaten his son.

Saw various people including Snow.

Great scandle about Sh A's latest divorce, the cause being the wife's young brother.

Went up to the Fort in the afternoon.

Dined with Snowes & then to the cinema, a pleasant evening, the Gunns & Mrs Hallows were the guests.
Quite a good film, .
