- June 17 Wednesday. A little sun, but clouded over again immediately. Men working again, removing top olive from drive and replanting it below, Bartolome making frame of cement to put a cover over the pit, & continuing shrubbery path. Laura gave me job of going on with Schools by myself. Last night worked on Chinese, this morning on Indian school systems. In evening Laura went over more Antigua with me, in afternoon we went over what I had written about Politics & Poetry and Gelat & Medora came & former explained danger Nuns are in of getting their school convent closed as well as school, because they have canvassed against the maestra who is now turning nasty, though previously prepared to exchange. At Bañalbufar the people turned out to prevent inspector serving notice on nuns, & inspector to avoid bloodshed(Guardia Civiles were ready to fire) drove off.
