Transcript
  • July 29 Friday. Getting Norman's room ready. Bees still crawling about in dining-room & Laura's work room. Menuisier did lavatory, meat , - safe, balcony & wire-netting in room on stairs. I stored away trunks. Modeste getting rather a trial. Laura went over a number of my poems & I worked over them all day. A bath in the child's bath – first one for a month, only washing in basins – clean white clothes. New moon; and walk all 5 of us down a lane toward Montfort at dusk. Hot day. Dorothy got clay for modelling. Laura got a fairly good day's work done on Aristotle.
