Norah Witchell's 20th birthday, we made her a card - lettering by Olive, verse by me, drawing by Dorothy. ((Norah had recently joined us 3 in the hospital office as a stenographer.   Tragically  In 1950, as Norah Stutchbury, she was murdered in Malaya by terrorists.))
Cloudy & cooler. Chinese guard left us with cigs & wine to sell for him at 2a.m. Road closed 10am to 1PM but nothing happened.
