Tuesday 18th
The first run I got was to Hurilcotte with orders on an old Bike & was kept going fairly well all day. There are 4 perminent men on this job & the one new one each day – He gets the worst of it. If any of the clerks in Orderly Room have a message to send they call Runner & you go in & they say 'Here take this. If the Major wants it done He comes out & says Will you take this to so & so please
