- Sat. Ap 18th. Cold wind. Gelat did not go to Madrid because of general strike there (on account of fascist activities not properly controlled) and bad sea. Yesterday's wire was a round up of Fascists. Worked over First Trial chapter (XII) in the light of Fuller's legal advice. Went down to sea. Hot in the sun. (Pedro and Catalina still in Palma) First Sweet Williams out at Can Torrent; and yellow carnations. Margarita told Str. “ Canellun doesn't always come here: that's only natural. They have half-share in the Sala café. But they always buy meat.” So we visited her this afternoon & had beer, whisky whiskey & soda, coffee etc – Krasniks disgusted to find us in their café. Abelin & Werner outcast because suspected of denouncing Krasnik and Leman (in Austria & Germany), but still have Ickes and the Proxies as friends.
