- March 6th Wednesday Wrote a long letter to Arthur Barker explaining why his suggestion was inappropriate & offensive, and to the German making it plain that since his revising of the original all-in contract, he could not expect any more work from me. He had not lost and would not have lost if he had kept the contract, which was not however renewable. Went over Remembering War , To Walk on Hills , Advice to Story-tellers , To Bring the Dead to Life and The Goblet with Laura. The first two & the last had already been seen by her and recast according to her suggestions. She now passed them all with only two emendations. Took them to Karl to type. He was in a very funny, ungracious mood a relic of last night when he got angry when I joked about his pommelling the Son Beltran boy, and anger with himself for having lost a page of Emmie . Fourth and fifth drafts of The Mirror . Betty goes back tomorrow.
