Very wet all day with fine mist. Did usual jobs all the morning, in the afternoon M^*1 & I went to Tavistock with Father & Arthur, the 2 latter to meeting of Kelly College Trustees on the matter of “Boggis wires”

M & I went to the hospital & had there a lesson from Matron in making beds.

Phyllis Morshead was there & before the class began She, I & Mary had an amusing chat about “Boggis wires”. At the other end of the room was another group all indignant that the college was not to be used.

After the class Father & Arthur picked us all up in the car. We heard the result of the meeting & defeat of Boggis. It would be a very serious thing to give up the school it would mean the ruin of it, also loss of employment to the masters. At Tom Fleet Hill the car refused to go any further so we had to walk home.

A good deal has been left out of this journal because I only bought it on Sat in Tavistock. So wrote it up on Sunday afternoon, Dorothea & Stella Domville kept up a continual chatter while I was trying to write.

One item of interest was that on Thursday night Father received an order that he was to send 2 horses to Lifton the next morning, Which order was carried out. The Admiral & comet going. But both were refused the former because of his age 17 & the latter because of his age 4.

On Thursday Reginald went to Exeter to see if he would find a job, he was unable to serve as a territorial because of his deafness. Bad Luck as he went through the training when at Oxford.

On Friday on our way back from Tavistock we stopped at Hurlditch & had tea there Lovely evening, very calm & peaceful.

It was hard to realize that not very far away men were killing each other.

Dear Ela Wingfield arrived on Friday from Haine
