Scope and Contents
Page 49 contains a cut up collage of a lily painting on the right hand side of the page. Phililps writes that Pella seeing this cut up lily thought it would make a good cover design for some of the bindings.The left side of the page is filled witha large black painted spill mark and several brown ones. In the diary writing Tom states that he is back from India and that Nick has shingles so not too much work was done. Phillips finished the collage of Thesias and transparencies of three beasts. He is" trying to work out where the cantos stand. We should have 16 cantos sections ready by May 1st and be 1/2 way by June first. Not too bad. Now about to work on title page and should therefore concoct a name for the 'Press". First thought of Fleur de Lys Press, then Peckham Press. P. suggests Talfourd Press which seems a good neutral name. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
