- Saturday March 2nd Took cellar-cupboard window to Miguel to repair. His wife gave me a present of three old brown bowls, one striped with black, one flower design, one cock, for Laura. I mended one with hieso and paint & gum. Spent the morning writing letters to Chapin, Colony & one W.L.Power (Men Need Armour)about their books. Colony's had the phthisitic venereal taint of Keats gone Australian, and occasional glints of a poetic conscience hastily smothered. Waste of time acknowledging books that one doesn't like & hasn't asked for. I wrote five letters to Colony before I finally got one short and casual enough to Laura in bed, almost all day. Letter from Harrison Smith to say that $4800 are available. From Sergeant Billy Townsend asking for a book. From my mother in answer to letter of 22nd. Wrote to her in general terms. Wrote to H.S. to send us letter of credit to Hispano-Americano at Palma.
