- May 5 Friday Schuyler came over early, just to see us. We went to New York Laura & I in a train while David went to Long Island to look up his friend but found his letters uncollected at the Box. We got on the Grand Central & Times Square shuttle & shuttled too much by mistake then got out at the Bloomingdales on 59th where Laura had been lost as a child. Went to Robin Hale's apartment where met Duncan Miller for a short time; he was pleased but uncertain. Then with Robin to a Cosy Tea Room which at 4.45 served only suppers, then to eat applepie, cheese & coffee somewhere. Robin very sweet, but bringing forward wrong names – Faulkner, Auden, Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck. Next supper at Fornos Spanish Restaurant. Julie, David, Tom, Laura me & Noguera & Portela. Noguera was the man who put March into jail in 1932: will tell Time about him. Portela said he liked Red Indians & cats, not negroes or dogs. Called Laura Captain Araña who embarked his crew & stayed ashore himself: i.e. she ordered drinks for all but herself. Tom showed the Time review to L & me (of Frost & me).
