30 July Friday
With correspondents to army for background talk. Meet McCormack again, make a wash drawing. Visit Div. and find letters for me. Introduced by Geoffrey to the GOC and have a talk with him at his caravanserai. Have drinks with Bob and Dugdale at the PR camp.

31 July Saturday
Make a rather bad drawing in my big book of the GOC's camp, try and write a letter to Coote telling him of the difficulties of work without transport. A maddening war, only the dead and dying stay still for you to draw. Give up the attempt and write a simple letter about my plans. Write to Catherine, a quiet evening in camp.
