Transcript
  • July 9 Thursday Friday. I started began the day gently – Harry brought me breakfast in bed – but soon started unpacking books when L & Harry were away buying things at Cranleigh , and then helped Laura unpack suitcases trunks. Then our things (& Alix's) came from Cook's and two work tables Laura had bought, and I forgot I was an invalid and carried tables upstairs etc, washed up 2 meals, helped to cook one, unpacked and cleared up. Frightful mess, remarkable work. (Doubleday is interested in the dictionary .) Harry madly weeding the paths. Sent N.N. £30. Ignition trouble with car. Government take Quijorna.
