Transcript
  • July 19th, Friday. Bathed, 9.30 to 11, with Mary. Swam round cove. Found coral for Honor. Then Richards again. Slept a little in afternoon while Laura went over Poets with Honor; awakened by Mary getting cigarettes. To village: got Amador with donkey cart. Packed up boat, to go to Short: great relief. Very hot day indeed. Solomon destroyed Laura's fan. Carl returned from Ibiza, with golden Ibizenean ear-rings for Laura, also linen shirt,blouse, and gala fan & two black sleeves; linen towels for Mary & Honor & set of silver buttons for me, with hexagonal points. First zinnias enough for cutting. In evening Richards again: have now done about 11,000 words. To Posada with fifth painted chair: put an ordinary Sheraton chair back in my bedroom. Bed at 12 P.M.
