TranscriptWolf River – Newman.
Used leather-conditioner of the 26-vol. Henry James, as well as other leather-bound books. Also cut all uncut pages in the set. Now I must find (or make) shelf space for this new four-foot three-inch acquisition. Filled out annual Who’s Who entry; no changes or additions, alas. Walked two short miles in 30 mins.; played Ives Qt. 2. In evening, read Henry James’ ‘The Private Life,’ a fanciful portrait of Browning. It was my first reading, here in Memphis, from Walker’s NY Edition. |
