1945

Went to see Leigh, he strays from the point & wastes time. Got away from him at about 2pm. Went to the
racecourse & then to the stables. We are making some improvements there. Had a talk to Bradley. Called
on the Galloways - there was a muddle, M & I called after M returned but apparently put our names in the
wrong book - caused much talk. M's finger quite bad arm in sling. New young APA called Olver with
Daly's sons.

The whole morning at the Fort interviewing joining men, candidates for police officers not much of a bunch
