Transcript

• Aug 18 Thursday James & Ethel occupy our days. They are late for all meals and difficult about food: but in the evening Laura cooked dried figs with wine, salt butter, lemon, cordial Medoc and they were enraptured. No work got done, except some that Laura did with David and I finished a poem in 3 drafts about Assumption Day . A very lovely hot day.
