- Thursday Ap 2 Heavy head. Publication date of O.S.S. in England: 6th in U.S.A. Yellow tulip out. Planted dahlias. Heavy boiratic day: no sun. To sea again, recovered pin tie-pin I left on the rocks yesterday: wrote 9 pages finishing Chapter XV. Only two more, it looks like. Wrote to John G. about help promised for Antigua . Another camelia out. Marguerite bush in full flower. Refused to pay bill from Sabater, via Estanco , for 252 pesetas for letter paper. Seeds coming up. Nice letter from David. GardenStone tables still lying about, and deposito beginnings in a forlorn mess waiting for political activity as a result of the Ap.12 elections. Checked Poetry & Philosophy for Laura. Epilogue almost ready. Winter probably over now: no fires since March 9th or so. All the same had fire this evening to keep off the damp. Gelat came and Medora. Apparently water-appeal is being withdrawn. Gelat is going to be Mayor and the Rights will withdraw. Gelat has a 'collar' for the Señor of Sa Pedrissa, having looked at his 'contribution' – can make him pay 2000 pesetas for his land, 5 years back in arrears. If the Dr wants to go to Palma he must ask Gelat for permission then...Sweated out cold with Cafiaspirin Cafiapirina , rum, hot orange.
