Wednesday 28th February

At the Fort for some time dealing with three police cases & various matters, discussed British Police with Sh

back rather late & worked in the office. Drove to Mhq in afternoon and then along the road to see the cutting

Mathews looked in to say goodbye, off by boat, and all dined & bridged with Radstrom Smith making the
fourth. Lovely weather, still and cool & sunny.

Thursday 1st March
