At work as usual. Busy all morning. Finished about 1.30. Got missionary money squared up. Bought two books for prizes, and got money changed at Fred Waggott’s¹. Went to Roker at night with Charlie and Willie. Read a bit. Jack² got a baby. He was at our house at 7 o’clock in the morning. George’s letter printed. Mine not.

1. The Waggotts, also Methodist church people, had a butcher’s shop, so presumably could change the missionary money into more convenient denominations. ↩

2. Jack: usually  mentioned in conjunction with Hilda, evidently Jack’s wife and the mother of this new baby. See Hilda disambiguation page. ↩
