Tuesday 8th September

Fort

HH came in with the uncles on his way to call on PR. Managed to get ARP meeting, Campbell
returned from Basra & came in before the meeting, all very busy up there & congestion in shipping &
rail. Ward going home after a row. Hunair Yatum came in about trade difficulties also Kinnaird &
Hudson, the former as usual in a great fuss, Dixon & Y Fakroo asking help in trade - though I see no
reason to help him as he doesnt help us.

Mowed the lawn, hard work, & then to cinema, an extremely amusing picture very well acted,
enjoyed it very much.

Dodds came in about the party for troops.

Wednesday 9th September

Didnt go Fort, paying out. Office. Very busy morning, had a lot of people in - a rush before
Ramadan.

In the garden in afternoon.

Asked myself to dinner with T.Ts & then went with Roselle to a whist drive for the troops which went
off very well & they all enjoyed. Brought back four sailors in my car to Jufair, quite nice lads.
