Transcript
  • Sept 24 Saturday Rain all day and notices out calling up all French reservists of category 3 i.e. 2 classes. The people calm and silent: “if there's a war, best to get over with it. The Italians don't count: they are only petits soldats ” (Russia has warned Poland to keep out of Tchechoslovakia Czechoslovakia ) A brave & warming letter from Eric at Prague: 'the fiends will meet their fate & at the hands of their own countrymen.' I went to a dentist early at Montauban: he said toothache was only sciatic nerve – the tooth was dead. We all have twinges of rheumatism here. Dictionary all day. We do not expect war in any serious sense.
