Scope and content

The handwriting in this diary is much more difficult to read than previously and there is a transcript of the diary entries in another hand [Muriel Brittain's]. It may have been written using German script because in 'It's a Don's Life' FB says "I have, however, continued to use German script all my life, finding it convenient as a sort of mild cypher for diaries and private notes".

Diary entries give details of what he did in his free time including cycling, walking, visiting friends, reading and attending church services.
