Scope and content

Richmond Lodge, Richmond Avenue, Milltown, Dublin.—Carew is still immersed in logic. He should to be preparing something for publication, but has apparently moved on to something new. He is going to publish something with the professor [Łukasiewicz], which is gratifying. Asks what Smith is working on. She herself has a cupboard of unfinished plays, but is going to try and finish her latest one. Aubrey enjoyed his visit, and, as he was without Josephine [Tweedy] this time, she saw more of him. ‘Apparently he shared a flat for some time with Angus and a woman called Marjorie Baron Russell who is an excellent cook and dedicated a cookery book to Aubrey.’ Discusses her crop of peas and her visit to the Sadlers Wells Ballet. Wishes to have his private address. The garden has been neglected, but she has been making clothes. Has been feeding the birds, and she shocked some visitors by referring to her ‘two dear little tits’.
