Wednesday 30th January 1935

A letter from Mr Hox (Runnymede) was delivered at the works. He wanted to see me about a certain matter. Went to his house at Ashford. Sherry and bitters, dinner, beer and music. He wished me to join his retinue in the Elizabethan episode of the Slough Pageant (this summer) Yes! “Every things coming my way!”

Pageant again! Oh! Glorious! The first warning of approaching summer.
