The Henson Journals

[100]

Wednesday, June 25th, 1930.

I worked at the E.C.U. address, and succeeded in completing it.

Then I walked in the Park with my chaplain. Tuesday, an Ordination candidate, came to tea: and when he had gone, I had a long and painful interview with Mrs Hodgson. It would seem that Kenneth has shown alarming signs of mental trouble. The poor woman is at her wits' end, but it is hard to see how I can do anything to help her. Kenneth's career at Oxford has been an expensive blunder, and so far from bringing him any benefit, has probably done him an injury.

Ella and I dined with Pemberton, who is now high sheriff. One of the judges, Hawke, was there. He sits for a Cornish constituency, and voted against the Prayer Book!

The papers are full of Baldwin's vigorous onslaught on Lords Beaverbrook and Rothermere.
