Bob’s brother Harold came to see him from London and we three went and had tea at the A.B.C. together.

Next day being Sunday, Rees, George, the Corporal, and I went to the Presbyterian Church in Croydon, and there made the acquaintance of the minister’s wife Mrs. Crombie, who invited us to go up to tea, and desiring a change from the waiting room fare, we went and enjoyed ourselves very much. I might mention here that I kept up a correspondence with this good lady, and received many gifts from her especially when I was in Dublin.
In the evening of the same day I went to hear the Rev. Major Scott preach who used to be at Rake Lane, and after the service went and had a chat with him.
