- July 26 Sunday Woken at 6 by a plane that went over Palma. It (or another) returned at two o clock after flying over Soller. The One that flew over Inca yesterday dropped leaflets and squibs. Schools. Laura on last bit of Troy . Greatest heat yet; but a breeze. Wild mimosa flowering again and that bush with white berries near the arbol de pisos . Nobody is allowed to talk in groups of three or more in public places, or to listen to neighbours' radios, or to circulate news unfavourable to the military. In the villages Fascist's are eating and drinking at expense of shops and hotels with at rifle's point, and black-and-tanning. Tonight's Fabrica radio reported Government advances towards Cordoba, Vittoria, Saragossa. Madrid gave railway timetables (proving the opposition news to be lies). Palma reported bombarded. No car came to Deyá so it isn't known what happened.
