Transcript
  • June 29 Tuesday Two more versions of poem: now called Mercies . Laura with an account of a meeting with Naomi Mitchison (hopeless) & of Len's meeting on Saturday with Korda (hopeless). The problem of cinema was emotional not visual: &, of directing, that of managing temperamental stars. Honor ate her lunch with me: her job has given her hitherto impossible entrees. Then Joyce with flowers. Ward & Dorothy with chicken-jelly, marbles from Caledonia, grapes. Lastly Liddell Hart with 2 books & a wish to meet Laura again. Reading 'Four Frightened People' by E. Arnot Robinson: a bad minded woman. Pannett said the wound was healing quickly: perhaps 10 days more. Breakdown of Non-Intervention pretence. ¿War?
