Scope and content
The books from Harper arrived; asks them to thank Hal Grove. Has signed and returned the 'Fifth Planet' contract. The weather is now great winds and rain. Cumbria 'has been blown to the North Sea', but assumes that 'Cockley Moor is still where it should be and not at the bottom of the valley'. Has been hard at work writing. Last week a local house sold for £26,000, and a cottage for £21,000. The animals grow apace. The heifer and the bull have been weaned. The bull uses Geoff for target practice whenever he's in the pen.
