- Oct 24th Thursday Much warmer. Casita half-risen: preparations for blasting rocks in the orchard. Karl 'muffish' so strangeness all day. He told me finally that he had had a headache all day & eaten nothing. Went over Schools introductionwith Laura . Kept Sally going all day for Laura: who wrote a long letter to James. Telegram to Constable about Epilogue spine. Letter from Kegan Paul about Lars Porsena . All afternoon gardening — making a long row of St Brigid's anemones in properly prepared earth: hitherto all clay in that front part of the flower-bed. Transcopied Schools . The inlaid mirror came: hung up in Mesquida; also shaving mirror for Karl. Catalina came: & Anatolia, keeping in the kitchen did her stuff. Laura writing to Sally Graves about her poems in Troy in the evening: me too, at the round table, checking Karl's typescript of her poems.
