Scope and content

Pollok Estate Camp, Glasgow.—Does not expect to be moved for a week or so. Is thinking of applying for a transfer to the Royal Army Medical Corps or the Royal Army Service Corps; if he does so, he will have to sign a statement renouncing his privileges as a non-combatant. Discusses the characters of his officers. Refers to Aunt Jessie’s report that he was growing thin, and points out that she saw him the day after he had had ptomaine poisoning. Is eating occasionally at the McMillans’ and has tickets for two concerts by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Supposes that Colin will be back [from Cambridge] soon.
