produce some evidence to Minister of Education I will be able to sit for degree of LLB – a two years course & I have 8 mos to take it & the exam is oral & in french
So first visit I make is to Kit Store get the certificate – my coco palm walking stick & several things of use to me & then back to town – to Bank & draw all I have £16 leaving 30/- in Bank. This is all my reserve.
I then visit Alcock but they are closed. I then make arrangement to repair my stick & have job finished to day as I intend to leave London Saturday night if I can get all done.
I see [indecipherable] & French contingent arrive & then at Moss find that a ready to wear uniform costs 7 ½ gns. I visit [Dean] & buy some puttees, collars shoes (17/6) & then Myers Tunic & slacks £2-10-0 Buttons must be changed etc but still a great saving. Then to Dean & annex a civilian suit for £5 & hat 4/6. In Strand I got silk faced white shirt for 8/6 & repairs to walking stick cost 2/6.
As I can move quicker without parcels I adopt plan of buying & leaving parcels & of course fail to collect one worth £2-9-0 a havresack with puttees etc. This means that I must wait till Monday, & pay for two days extra here & in France. However it is better to do this than lose £2-9-0
I dine to night as usual in Soho
