Transcript
  • Oct 23 Saturday. Was going to London: but not necessary because flat matters seem settled. Wrote letters all morning and in afternoon went with Harry & Alix by car to Ash near Aldershot to buy apples from Mr. Burt's brother (Mr Burt came with us) there. Very well, & Mr Burt misdirected us. On the way back at Guildford bought Laura garnet ring for 19/-, (Georgian[)] and a tea-cup & saucer for personal use at Shere – also a crystal candlestick for Alix (7/6). R Norman was here, so did no Belisarius , except going over yesterday's work, felt tired, went to bed.
