TranscriptRead “The Beldonald Holbein.”
Still comparatively cool, but humid; 82° at 4 oclock. Walked two short miles in 31 ½ mins.; played Hindemith, Qt 3 & String Trio 1. Delayed (because it was misdelivered to the Carters next door, whove been out of town for three weeks) letter from Paul Carmignani inviting me to lecture at the Université Paul Valéry in Montpellier; an international conference on “American writers & The Civil War” – the keynote address, he says. University will “pay your travelling & hotel expenses.” I may do it; a good chance for a vacation. Dates are March 22-24. “Delta Queen” commitment is April 12-19 – which is cutting it rather close. |
