Transcript
  • Dec 14 Saturday Liddell Hart's typescript came: wrote to tell him how pleased I was. Read it part of day, & also went over typescript of the T.E. letters. Kegan Paul asked me to omit wounded soldier from Lars Porsena : did so. Sent off embroidered figleaves to Julie. In the evening we visited Strenge & Schwarz (Laura had not seen Str for a fortnight) & home to bed. Slept 12 hours. Winston Churchill & [W.B.] Yeats both on island: different ends. Men put framework of porch over front door: & worked on paths with stones from Posada & gravel from Can Mado. Read Bunyan's friend Sister Beaumont (murderess?). Rosa here: brought Laura's brocade jacket.
