14 July 1915:
Letters to Huntley & Hollingworth.

Huntley is recorded by Louis in his 1912 diary , so presumably was a fellow planter. The History of Ceylon tea does not show a Huntley at the same time , but does note a Huntley in the vicinity in 1917. Mention is made on the History of Ceylon Tea of an A Hollingworth- whom Louis subsequently meets up with later in August.

Although see 14 December blog entry for ore research on Hollingworth. There is in fact no connection to Ceylon. Hollingworth , like Louis , sailed back to the UK from overseas to join up with the Scots Guards.
