To my horror I got a wire from Caton “Married man, wife in Liverpool letter follows”. Poor Dora. It will be a terrible blow to her. Wrote her a note not mentioning the fact but hinting that I had not got a satisfactory account of Pilot1. Today I walked round the town + then out to Smedheugh. In the evening I attended a choir social to welcome Mellalieu2 + give Foster [?] a presentation. It went off very nicely + there was some good singing.
