Says their party comprises Auchinleck, Sir Richard Peirse, Charles McNeill, a unnamed RAF officer and Ridgway. He describes the luxurious train which brought them to Simla. He will be meeting the governor of Punjab, [Bertram James Glancy 1882-1953] and tomorrow, the governor of Burma , [Reginald] Dorman-Smith (1899-1977).
