- Saturday Sept 14 Cool & sunny. It was a steady soak yesterday evening and night. Clouded over later. Part of Almost Forgotten Times [Chapter] XXVI Letter from Liddell Hart approving plan, but not sure about time-factor Answered at length, “soon rather than later.” I estimated material at 50,000 words (with notes & references to letters). Walk along road., General's son-in-law came & gave advice about plants. Also the Hutchinsons who talked till suppertime. The Estancos now sell a smokable Virginia cigarette, at 2 pesetas, in cellophane. The first serious step against the smuggling trade. Gelat came: & told us the comic story of how the Doctor, Bartolomé, the Sa Pedrissa colono & young Estanco testified: none was able to make a statement worth anything. The Dr could not even sign his name to his declaration. The Judge's representative had been primed, & if no dirty work is done the interdict will be quashed: but the case will be won.
