Scope and content
Has been less time than ever for writing this week. The spring has moved on this week. Describes some pink roses he saw encased in a block of ice. Clarissa has gone to Alice's factory. Went into Sussex to see his father's gravestone. Never liked Sussex but now finds it a beautiful country. The trains full of "swarming heavy-booted soldiers" who are going to be killed makes it very oppressive. Took an American from his office to Chiswick. His day off has been spoiled as the major has got boils. Discusses Ava's "heartlessness".
