Friday 16.8.57
Another day has sped its way.
H feels an emotional strain living opposite her old home & seeing people go
in & out. However she has been very courageous & I have admired her
spirit in what must be trying circumstances for any house-wife let alone one of
H’s age.
Whilst H stayed at home this
am I went to B’m. Called at Ongar Hosp
to see Mrs Jopson. She is making good progress tho’ still seriously ill. She
appreciated my call & the flowers I took were, she said, her favourites.
Found nobody working at the
house. Called on Miss Thomas re Paslow
services, on the Simmons & the Woods. Anne S showed me her engagement ring.
Roy Horsnell is her fiancé. Was home for 1o’c lunch.
Had a good sleep this pm &
then to work in my temporary study. After tea to work again & at 8o’c H
& I walked round to Joyce Stunt’s where we stayed for an hour.
Tonight’s radio told of a man
being charged at Woodford with the criminal assault & murder of a boy of
seven on Saturday last. Poor child & poor murderer. What processes of
filthy lust led him to such degradation & what remorse gnaws at his
conscience now.
