Transcript
  • July 5 Monday. A.G. again came to say goodbye. Gave me £1 for my birthday, apples, bananas. Laura did not come in the morning. I got up & walked about painfully. My wound is all but healed. A 12 pages letter from Sam: answered in 12 foolscap pages. Five more drafts of To Break Delight which I am not sure about. Reading the Turkey book: I don't like these provocatively virtuous travellers. Pannett gave me permission to go tomorrow: a week under usual time. Alan & Beryl came. Dick & Clarissa came. Laura & Honor. Karl twice. Wrote to Home Office for extension of his permission to stay.
