- June 5th Wednesday. Got up at 6.30: posted Korda letter. Juan & electricista mended Mesquida light. Wrote to Ros, Mother, Gamage about Rora Dinghy for Sam from Laura; dictated three letters to Mary P. - Gamage about overcharge, H.S. about Claudius Film Version serialization, title, stills; Dulan ordering Andersens Walpole, Gaskell. To Posada with young Miguel - gave him orders for three windows and their shutters, & Antonio Cas Pintada Antonio de Ca's Pintat , orders for two doors. Five men working there. Everyone typing Focus -stuff: my job, dictating illegible hands. In evening went to conjuring show in old Café: cigarette swallowing, card tricks, auction of raffle tickets for a bottle of estomocal - Honor won. Gelat told us the story of how the Médico & Juan were intending to claim by right of “ retracto ” the Can Medo Can Madó land and fountain. He can get out of this by a trick. And he can turn the tables by claiming to buy Molí at the price paid - put as 25,000, really 75,000... - as the previous renter of the property: a new law. And will do so to pay for his 'dolores de cabeza' .
