Transcript

• Wed Feb 2 All day Belisarius John Lucy sent me a letter (or rather enclosed one to Mary in an envelope to me). (Also Honor had a letter from a mysterious 'J. Coghlan' of Dublin – obviously the same hand). It contained a remark about England & Ireland which should have gone to the War Office. Walk to Kilburn, brought back a Worcester platter for Honor. Laura writing letters. We play Bessie Smith records to drown the songstress next door. She replies reproachfully with Handel's 'Largo'.
