Scope and content
His leave was cancelled at the 12th hour "by some bore getting jaundice". Is anxious to discuss viceregal life with Beaton. Would like him to give the governor some of Sir Hubert Young's characteristics: "heavy dignity, liberal outlook, large, sallowish, pompous". Discusses the West Indies cover. Asks to come in later this week and "talk government houses".
