Transcript
  • Sat June 25th Flat back in original condition. To St. Christopher's School Letchworth to see Sam on Parents' Day. John took A.G. Jenny & me in car. Rather a Peace Pledge & eyewash atmosphere but nice children & nice grounds. Turned a picture of Krishnamurti back to wall, found a lost wedding ring – Rosalind's in As You Like It – heard Mr. Baddeley ex-Bedales talk almost inaudibly – dreary story of blue bottle in Magic lantern. Goodbye to John, Jenny, A.G. Dinner to the French Pleven's, 11 Grosvenor Crescent. He is Breton, Unanimiste, sells telephones. She is small witchlike unpleasant. Excellent food & cuisine. Also Joan Evans there, an expert on jewelry – also has written a psychological book about taste. Difficult & even hostile evening Laura up to all hours writing letters for Len & how to deliver them.
