Thursday 23rd March 1933

Letter from Lincoln Police. No vacancies. Recruiting being stopped for some time. Metropolitan Police sent an application form. Full details of life from birth onwards! Filled in most of it. I must visit Lincoln Police Station for a preliminary exam, (height, weight, chest). I hesitate before returning the form to the Metropolitan Police for several reasons, I do not wish to leave Lincoln – yet. The Metropolitan means London for ever. So I shall keep the application form by and wait awhile for further developments.
