Transcript
  • Wed Dec 23 Proofs. Bought more marbles at 2d each and Bantu combined spoon and knife in wooden sheath 1/6. This had a British Museum case number (196) on it. Also a horn whistle. 3/-. Dorothy & Ward gave me handkerchiefs and a round ribbed mahogany box-let. Sam & Catherine's photographs. To Jenny: she behaved very well and is ever so much nicer when than when I come alone. Last minute shopping. Less crush in shops than yesterday. Post is behindhand. Harry & Alix to Irish stew. These nights we seem to work regularly from 10.30 to 2.30. Proofs: nearly ending. Carl did Heathen sketch cover.
