Wrote a long letter explaining the Arnie trouble, explaining copyright position with Eliot, suggesting Soller as a spot for the brother, mentioning Mary P. as typist etc, agreed to any reasonable terms, asking about Claudius schedule, mentioning Laura's impatience for an answer. To sea: stones. To village: Laura's Julie dress at Margarita. Letter from Harrison Smith about serialization. Oleander blossoming. One pear on pear tree: the first. Gelat business not yet settled.
