Once again Japs look like business, and they can't call it off every time.

Mary Taylor phoned me about a possible new job, so at 5pm I went to 3rd floor, Hong Kong Bank Building, and met Elsie Cholmondeley, tall and fair, very blue eyes, employed there (Stabilization Board of China.)  I was there until 7pm and everyone still working - wouldn't like that continuously.  Mr Fox interviewed me, he sprawled over a table... said he couldn't take any one till he got more room. ((I seem to think he was American, and I dont think he was in Stanley... none of the people on Stanley list named Fox sound like him. Perhaps he got away before 8th Dec, he certainly spoke about going 'on a trip' when he interviewed me shortly before.))
