Thursday September 30th 1932

Still working madly. DL very anxious. The truth! Someone ‑an employee ‑has been embezzling. My missing list, that is to say, my list of the missing which I did not keep, would have checked him. Overlook is that my negligence is part of the great whole, a crime. No doubt a prosecution.

At 4.30 pm I presented Mr Cooper with the completed list. DL says that there is little hope for me. Dismissal is almost certain. I shall know tomorrow. SUSPENSE!

Evening, bought a weekend return ticket to Willougby; Aunt Sue had invited me. Went alone to the City Cinema and saw 'Hell Divers' a great naval air picture. Forgot all my troubles.
