ABSTRACT
Jaqueline was called up for service in the Women's Land Army (WLA) and told be ready to report on October 1, 1939. Jaqueline's Timber measuring course began in January 1940, at the Forestry School in the Forest of Dean. Jaqueline provided those details to explain why she felt "of two minds" regarding Rowse's offer of a job working on a plan for the redevelopment of the South Wales coalfields. At the same time, Jaqueline heard from Frances Davies about Rowse's plans to reorganize the School as an international correspondence course. Rowse also stated that he was in contact with sociologist Karl Mannheimthen a lecturer at LSE and hoped that would lead to some "real work" for Jaqueline. Jaqueline fitted perfectly into Rowse's composite mind for South Wales. In mid-September, Jaqueline had to defend herself against yet another accusation of being pro-Nazi. Jaqueline spent a weekend with friends at Dartington, now the closest thing she had to a home base.
