- Wednesday June 26 Rained slightly in night. Very hot. No sheet even. Sent Arnie authority to pay Standard fee to Eliot, and extra £20 (American money less Pinker 's commission, and out of pocket) and my side of the story: agreed to amnesty. Wrote thanking Eliot. Wrote telling Pinker to pay the balance of the fee into my a/c after deducting commission. Posada. Kitchen midjansed . Helped masons raise sink into position; advised about draught draft for fugon . Upstairs all done now except lavabo and outside of one window. Visited both carpenters. To sea with Karl. Hot day, with clouds. Warm sea. Stones. Orange-balls at their best. First zinnias. Stowed blankets away for the summer & hung out winter things against moth. Also Laura's nightgowns, hats etc. Awful heat in attic. Posada again with Mary. Bench made in sitting room & sink fixed, place for fugons being made. Work started today on Centro Concordia. Letter from Ashby asking Latin inscription for Winchester Cloisters: supplied it.
