Transcript
  • Oct 29 Sat. Dictionary with Alan: and again with Laura at night. Final verse to The Suicide in the Copse . Leonie went to Rennes; so much housework. Picked hips and red blackberries to flavour apple-jam. At night in the Salon made 30 pounds flavoured also with lemon peel & (too much) cloves: Beryl, Dorothy, Alan helping (David abstained). Finished at 2 am. Heard from Honor after silence of 2 months. She was to have come but had no money. At jam making asked Beryl 'Frankly, are you bored with the stirring?' 'No, not frankly.' D.L.Murray wrote to Laura: if she cares to make a factual statement about review he will print it. Laura wrote again ending: 'if you answer this I will write again.'
