Went over to Chelmsford this afternoon. I went across to see the Horse Sale ... Cart horses were going well, but small ponies were only making £5-£6. There was a Thorough-bred hackney pony, which started at £2.10 and finally made £4! What a wicked shame that such things should be. ...
After this I went to see Emmison [then the Archivist of Essex Record Office], while he showed me some of his treasures. Restoration work and research are still going on quite normally in the Record Office.
