- March 18th Monday Rose at 6: to village to tell Gelat about barrel for Salamo. In the morning went for a walk to village with Laura (her hair cut) in the sun & fetched Carl to lunch. Sent off Laurence and the Arabs to Sergeant Townsend (A Coy) and I, Claudius & Claudius the God to Nevill Barbour. Wrote to both. Hester Stanhope to Lucie. In afternoon planted aloes (?) brought from Fábrica & got Sebastian to make a seed bed. Josepha & her mother came: Laura met them at camión . Salamó arrived too. Fixed him up temporarily with a packing-case & straw. McCormacks much impressed by his 'cut'. Then came at the gate I met Frau Emmerich. I told her off for the café incident, but afterwards she came in and everything was friendly. She has greatly cooled towards Hitler in two years: told us that Elfriede was dying of T.B. Exhausting German conversation, but Carl helped a lot. Then McCormac's farewell coffee. Splitting headache: never so tired for years. But Salamo kept quiet all night, and we are very pleased with him. Letter from Harrison Smith agreeing to share correction expenses of I, Claudius . Disappointing letter fixing maximum price of [Fray Junipero] Serra book at $15O.
