'Thursday 3rd June ?Our Mr Wrenn? (Sinclair Lewis) I feel crushed with the amount of spare time work I have on hand but life is nothing without the fight. I feel I am slipping too much into cricket, and taking life too easily. Mr Milligan has asked me again to organise a Peace Week meeting on the 19th !!!' [Sinclair Lewis, the son of a doctor, was born in Minnesota in 1885. He entered Yale University in 1903 but left three years later to join Englewood, the socialist colony founded by the writer Upton Sinclair. In 1908 Lewis moved to New York where he became a freelance writer. His first novel, Hike and the Aeroplane was published in 1912 ? He died in Rome in 1951].
