Stuff from torquay at last.
Started electric pad.
Slept 8-9 1/2 Woke with 241 bad & severe pain on breathing (40) both symptoms abate.
Slept in chair sure it’s intercostal.
10-11.0 fairly. Rheumatistm—lots of phlegm.
Slept 11 1/4-12 3/4 Fri through. Dreams—see Memo p 6.*
* Memo:—Girls came with marvellous gifts, esp one oriental robe—Chinese, I think (stuff fr[om] Torquay) (2) Large rather unconventional dinner-party. I counted all, including staff—26-30: some doubt. I reckoned out that pooling incomes & so (OTO Plan) we could continue in splendour—say £200 p. a apiece. Excess to be retained for extra—necessary activities.
Very clear, “real”, & concise.
