Wed.. Oct 14
Lunch with Eddie at his flat. 70 of his pictures at Johannesburgh but still had too many. Nothing much said.
In evening dinner at Maisie's with Tanny Brown
Rebecca West & her husband1. Talked of education, early environment and tenderness towards 'population'; and
of non-population activities. Also of G.B. Stern, Morgan, Geoffrey Holdsworth, Yeats, etc. She was quite nice.
