The entries refer to the weather, meetings of the Executive Council, deputations, receptions, meetings, visits to hospitals, schools and factories, concerts, sporting events, the activities of Toc H and the Boy Scout movement, the selection of Rhodes Scholars, reviews of death sentences, overseas visitors (such as L. S.

M. Bruce (Sept. 1926) and the Duke and Duchess of York (May 1927), Campion's visit to England (Jan.-May 1929), the defeat of the Collier Government (April 1930) and occasional overseas events (such as the 1926 general strike in Britain). The legibility varies, as the ink in some entries has faded.
