Entry 61 · Book chapter 62
April 5 1944
Lewis describes the grim routine of vetting prospective war brides, most of whom turn out to be supporting themselves through prostitution out of dire poverty.
Reflections

Investigating marriage candidates, Lewis finds most so-called prostitutes are ordinary girls with no other means of survival, and reflects that with the whole population out of work and producing nothing, it's remarkable they can even find a man to support them at all.
