She has an unstable and temperamental personality [Nonsense] and it is very doubtful whether she is really suited to work in the field.
CODES. Was given revision in Innocent Letter conventions, writing of practice letters, practice in wording messages, revision of Double Transposition and envelope opening. More routine practice is required.
