- Oct 22 Tuesday Cold, cold weather. Corduroys & heavy socks. Up early & taught M Anatolia to get breakfast. Men working on Casita ; making a bridge, too. To Posada: planted violets, freezias, red geranium creeper, stuff from the tunel , nasturtiums, ancharisa, passion flower. Water steady in well. Also marigolds. Excellent meal, from customary ingredients. Wrote to Honor, Hillgarth. Old Soldier Sahib has been accepted as the title: entries about dum-dum bullets & the Drunken Private's name & regimental number. Laura cleared out my folders for me. Investigation programme for Schools . Aqueducts book came: thanked. Laura finished introduction to Schools : I read it over then. More money from Germany £73 odd in all. From Harrison Smith sending Old Soldier Sahib advance, asking about Fool of Rome Replied must first write to Korda. (Did so.) Gelat in bed with cold. Juan reports 3 dedos of snow at Valldemossa. On the way to village heard terrific crash of peñasco . Laura reminded me of a joke of mine. It makes a blankverse line And cellophane, the nudists' winter-wear. Another excellent meal.
