Monday
Cold but sunny. ‘Planes flying low over the town all day,
making a hideous noise. Had a request
from the Librarian of Bedford College for permission to study the MSS in the
Town Library. Got them out and checked
them. They are all in very bad
condition, and need a lot of repair.
Worked in the Library all the afternoon and evening, checked and listed
the Dickens’ first editions, and discovered Moore’s “Life of Byron” with an
inscription from Moore to Sam Rogers, inside which is a copy of the pamphlet
written by Lady Noel Byron in reply, with her autograph. Must tell Margaret Sherry. Worked until 9.30.
On Saturday
afternoon some Coastal Command aircraft, quite by accident, intercepted 18
German torpedo bombers 150 miles off the Scots coast, and brought down 9.
