Monday 24th July
Very busy day, everyone trying to get me to deal with their particular
business before leaving some hoping that in hurry I would agree to
various matters. Went up to see HH who was extremely affable and then
had a long session with Stoker & saw some of his men who want to resign.
Dealt with Police rewards & innumerable other matters. Quite cool still.
Tried to get a passage by the night service which goes non stop to
Karachi & travelling at night is much pleasanter, didnt work. Went to
Agency for drinks at 6.30, Lloyd Taylor of BOAC was there, passing
through, & very interesting about the new just out from England, to
the cinema & then back to Agency for supper, a stupid film but much
recommended by Stoker. A tiring day, packing & fixing up things.
