Scope and Content

Going on holiday - perhaps sailing. Describes one time he raced another yacht and the day after when he went to Foundry Hospital. Can't understand why his window garden didn't work. A jug of roses his sister gave him is now starting to give off "an odour of decayed cabbages". Leaves letter feeling "stupid and muddled" - stops in a sulk.
