Scope and Contents

Return visit. INTVEE says the block is much friendlier now than it used to be with the exception of one woman who is always borrowing and doesn't repay and rarely talks to her neighbours. She is no longer friendly with one of the first neighbours she met who had to have an operation about which she was worried and anxious. INTVEE had tried to reassure her but with no success and didn't know what else to do. INTVER expresses shock at the inability of a young woman to understand or accept depression, although this is something she has seen among older women. None of the women are on christian name terms. INTVEE is critical of a neighbour who works full time and is out very early and not back until after the children come in from school, the teenage daughter takes the younger ones to school, lights the fire and makes them something to eat at night. She thinks the district is friendly on the whole and is surprised to hear some people want to move. An official from the Sanitary Department came to discuss the cleaning arrangements for the stair and left a card to be passed round.
