- March 25 Monday Lined Laura's jewel case with velvet and plush & silk. Pasted her black oil-cloth fish-horse on brown paper. Another very hot day. Read the Thin Man . Went to Lluchalcari with Laura, Carl, Salamon. They, tea, I, beer. Laura went over What Then? with me; made suggestions. Letter from Harrison Smith about film version of Claudius ; offered 10% royalty on [the] book. I replied would contract to write one film story: and second, if Korda does Agrippa film. Terms 10%, 12% at [$]2O,000, 15% at [$]40,000. 1000 dollars advance on signing contract. If he didn't like that let him leave it; I was bored with Claudius . Wrote to Times Morgue: declining to do T.E. Lawrence memoir Gelat had seen a number of people who might help getting money from Germany. Salamó has had a cold in his eyes for the last three days. Wrote to [Banco] Hispano Palma asking them to wire todo arreglado . At Lluchalcari took cuttings of snowball plant and black patterned-leafed geranium plant. The first probably won't grow: too far advanced, and wrong phase of the moon. Sent off Second Leaf to Oxford, Cambridge, British Museum, Congress Library , Manchester, 3 to Ethel Herdman. See March 10th.
