- Tuesday. Dec 8 Went to buy Christmas scarves for Marguerite and Betty. Also bought copper coal-shovel for Honor, two more pewter ashtrays, and two Staffordshire cats, Francis and Frances, for 10/- each. Letter and present of pins from one Jens Jensen of Denmark. Honor and Gordon and Alan. In afternoon fixed up Lawrence book arrangements at a meeting of Trustees – present Eliot, Durnay, Arnie, Carlow, Forster, L.H. me. None of the Trustees has read the book! Agreed on 1000 copies limited publication, & trade edition after official Letters published. Gloomy feeling that Edward will abdicate following hopeful morning feeling that he will give up Mrs S. Laura doing Troy proofs still. Am getting much too fat. Agreed to sell Lawrence letters for £300. A walk with Laura to Piccadilly (saw unserious car accident) and back by bus.
