3 May 1945, Barbara Anslow's diary

Submitted by Barbara Anslow on Mon, 05/21/2012 - 12:29

Mr. N. C. Barber died at 1.25pm, a Christian Scientist who refused to have operation for cancer of the tongue etc.

'Jeanette' Clark is to be called 'Helena' or similar ((handwriting in original diary too faint)). ((within a week or so of the adoption, Mrs Clark went to the Halligans saying 'I want my bairn back' – and took Jean.  The Halligans were devastated.  Many years later I learned that Jean had died in her early twenties.))

Horrible stye again.  

Walked round with Gladys and Rosaleen in evening, then play reading with girls' club.
