Fetched Gordon & Honor: Laura read them a severe letter she had written to Gordon about his indecisiveness & insults. He undertook to cable to Molly ending things. Worked on Lines Address to Myself & Address to Customers ( Receipt for Moneys ) and What Then? Sea: swam to swallow-rock with Mary & Karl. Grey mullets & swallows. Fishermen gave me a coral plant.
