Transcript

• Aug 9 Tuesday. Laura in bed first half of day very bad head. She got up after lunch about tea time, with her title. Yvonne also had a bad head & did not come; so I with a bad head too did a lot of housework. Going over poems with Laura for last time. We also worked enjoyably on Dictionary in evening. Decided to sack Modeste. I bicycled to Montauban: there made an engagement with M.Pinson for L's carte d'identeté tomorrow. We played 7 ¼ in a new form: blind, and the dealer can exchange his first or second card, if he dislikes it, with anyone else. Have taken to making cigarettes again.
