Lawrence succumbs. to Constable with particulars for the Epilogue estimate. Then all morning at Viña and Can Gelat: putting up mosquito nets, mirrors, shelf paper etc. Laura has appendix trouble: went to bed on her return. To Calabat to pay for hen: ordered another. Picked another 2 lbs of strawberries. One cherry. Can expect no fruit this year. News from Short via Gelat that T.E. Lawrence died Saturday night. Cable from Pinker that obituary published in E.Standard tonight. From Cape asking permission reprint Lawrence and the Arabs at 4/6 10%. Replied, “Yes.” Strenge & Schwarz back: with Breeze a pedigree puppy. Gave him Strick Drunter . He gave me a silver Gallo-Roman coin.
