September 1st, 1985
Diarrhea apparently cured, though I still feel somewhat woozy. Don't know whether the sickness(?) came from food poisioning or some other 24 - hour flu. At least I seem to be recovering, whatever it was. Walked briskly at noon; than the VCR movie "Paris Texas."
Late afternoon feeling better; I walked down to morningside to see Tunkie. Told him at last that I have valued his friendship and that I want him to know I'll be glad to be of help XXXXXXX I can to his three children, especially in matters of art and reading; a rather awkward attempt to say I knew he was dying and was saying goodbye ahead of time.
Had xxxxxxxxx for lunch. For dinner, poached eggs and toast - first solid food in two days.
Began reading bound galley's of McShane's biography of James Jones. Memories of him kept coming back as I read.
