'30th October 1928. I received my first parcel of papers from Mother today. The ?Birkenhead Advertiser?, the ?New Leader?. How funny the Advertiser seems to me reading it in the atmosphere of this great city. These columns of local gossip, and the accounts of football matches between such teams as the Cement Works and the Municipal employees. How do we manage to take ourselves so seriously.'
