Transcript
  • Sunday. Sept 15 Laura had been up till 3 working (at Poets I think) & writing a letter to Ward Hutchinson about his poems: she only found two short sequences of poetry which were all right in his book. The rest merely traditional or ornate. I wrote a letter to Honor & began Almost Forgotten Times [Chapter] XXVII. In the afternoon I went to Lluchalcari with the letter & Laura's Laura and Francisca & Lying Word & since the reaction was favourable invited them to supper. On the way noted a few lines for a Labyrinth poem. Heavy weather again. More Almost Forgotten Times Then supper & we went to the Sala (the side-pieces now painted) & had ices with Gelat & Medora. Introduction bungle because of Laura 's sleepiness & the noise in the Sala. Isabel has symptoms which may be consumptive: must take her in on Thursday. Ordered a mica-glass for my watch: the snap case comes to too glas close to the thin glass & cracks it. Decided to buy Ca'n Gelat, if he will sell it, as a guest house.
