Slight rain, cold. Temperature 42° in shade. Sent to Longmans for opinion by Registered Parcels Post 10 chapters, about 60,000 words of “Holidays of a Country Vicar” or etc. Jane (Edith) Keen our servant slept here. She has been sleeping at home for the 3 weeks she has been employed. I had been using servants’ bedroom for writing in. I removed my papers and books to the little bedroom over the study.

I walked round Sibford, Ferris and the Elm at night.
