Transcript
  • Aug 10 Wednesday. More work on poems with Laura. Went to Pinson. Was kept waiting 45 minutes before I realized that he went by ancienne heure not heure legale So came away, not to miss lunch, and Laura & [I] went in by car in afternoon. L. gave P. a present of 200 francs (privately in an envelope) & hopes he took it well. Carte d'identité application sent in. No cigarettes: so Montague & I bicycled to Montfort & got 1000 (Highlife at 2 francs for 10), back by St Uniac. He has decided to give up his Home Office job. Spongecake bought at Montauban with wine & strawberry jam sauce.
