Invited to Dinner Room 66 67, where McAnally celebrated his birthday. I was one of 4 guests making a total of 14 – It was an excellent turnout – Several toasts proposed & Mc wished many happy returns – Then the room was cleared for Bridge after which we had a few select dances, Lts Airth & Scisson being the stars of the evening –
I adjourned to my room after a most enjoyable evening about 1 am when Tremlott & I had a few words resulting in me being pulled out of bed about 14 times.
Room 67 raided our room at my instigation; & we had a great old ruff & tumble for quite half an hour. Onlookers were highly amused. This attack was launched as a reprisal for the bad treatment meted out to Chisholm, the treatment to Chisholm being a reprisal for the bad treatment I've received on numerous occasions from Room 67.
