Wrote Mrs Christie to express my sympathy.

11th January [1916]

Fine bright morning. Slight hoar frost. Dogs of the village as usual made most weird sounds during the night. Road making in [?]Dzuma – Pirnar road. Large mixed post in with letters from Cyril and Tommy and a Christmas card from [?] Murphy.
Newspapers in with report of poor Christie’s death (22nd December).
Rutherford had a pleasant time with eleven French aeroplanes passing and repassing!
Nothing much doing. Wrote Mrs Christie to express my sympathy.
