Monday 19th August 1912
By at 6.30 Stormy day with a very bad thunderstorm about two. Heavy showers at times got a letter from Dorrie which gave me a rather shock Allen has been staying at home he has got a job in Egypt which he has been after as a travelling inspector of schools & technical colleges. Dorrie writes & Dad doesnt think we ought to be formaly engaged. I can not think why, because he seems to agree to out getting married next year. They are getting on it seems; she also says she is going to his home at Burnley after our holidays. I don’t like the look of things at all. The fellow a very decent sort certainly but the only thing remarkable about him is that he is a genius and I don't think that that is a perfect guarantee of happiness.
