Scope and content
SS Catalonia, Colombo Harbour. Calling on Ruth's friend Margaret Simpson: an amusing confusion over her name. A journey to the PoW camp, high in the mountainous interior of the island. A visit to tea estates, one managed by Mr Simpson's brother. Will be setting sail again soon. Has declined a professorial post offered by the Governor of Ceylon: 'to take it would be to stagnate'.
