Perfect morning.. but Terence did not get up at seven as he proposed and I had to wait around for break which we had in east cloister.. Good time though and we talked till it was all the morning.. I had hurried lunch for him and he went off at I.45. Into space as usual. Will probably go to the Gilders. But it was a glorious visit. Poppi[[e]]s nearly over ..and one pink rose over lowere gate. I sank into rest. Get more tired every minute. It is so long since I let go. S1 came in in aft and brought horrid letter from Procter about cutting down his trees. They are chasing us at every turn. Unable to do a bit of writing or anything. Fine letter from Talcott Williams.
   S1 agai[[n]] in eve as I sat in upper loggia with moon. Talk and for short walk. Bed early.
