Noting that he has worked "a very little" on their collaborative novel "A Comedy of Masks," and asking Moore to dine. In an effort to plan a day to meet, discussing his upcoming engagements, which include spending Saturday afternoon with Missy (Adelaide Foltinowicz) and "meeting a various crew, Oscar among them, at Horne's." Lamenting that the April number of The Century Guild Hobby Horse is still at the press and describing a "wild, weird dream."
