The volume is largely blank, but it contains diary entries for 26 September to 4 October. The year is given as 1928 but is thought likely to be in error for 1948 as the entries mention both Nan [M A's daughter] and Frank [M A's husband]. M A writes of bees, animals and plants and talks of walking 'down to Toft': the diary was presumably written at Old Victoria Farmhouse, Hardwick, Cambridgeshire. The volume also contains ms poems dated 1947-1950 with many corrections and amendments. Inverted at rear: 4 pages of ms notes headed 'Winter in Yakutsk' [Russia]; also temperatures recorded at Madingley Hill 28 October 1948.
