March 7th Thursday Laura has influenza. Betty went back. A very cold wind blowing. £ down to 34.45 pesetas. Went down to sea. Asphodels out. The Focus January number isn't here yet: it was promised for Sat.24th. Made out a scheme for the court case of Antigua , but got the order of procedure wrong. No matter. Sebastian grafted 2 peaches on 2 almonds. Laura told me a dream. A hall of people being asked questions by a professor of psychology to show his deductive skill. He picked on Laura for the question, “What is the function of a bird?” She replied aggressively, “I do not consider that a proper question; it should be addressed,if at all, to the bird itself, but since And that no answer could can be expected from the bird does not justify your shifting the responsibility for answering from a being without consciousness, to a conscious being who has altogether different functions. Your question to such a being can only properly refer to observed action in the other. If therefore you ask me 'what does a bird do?' my answer would be 'fly!'” The funniest letter and poem sent me by one Sidney Wilson of Ashley, Penn. Filed it in Dictionary of Christian Biography under Lazarus-Leander.

March 18th Monday Rose at 6: to village to tell Gelat about barrel for Salamo. In the morning went for a walk to village with Laura (her hair cut) in the sun & fetched Carl to lunch. Sent off Laurence and the Arabs to Sergeant Townsend (A Coy) and I, Claudius & Claudius the God to Nevill Barbour. Wrote to both. Hester Stanhope to Lucie. In afternoon planted aloes (?) brought from Fábrica & got Sebastian to make a seed bed. Josepha & her mother came: Laura met them at camión . Salamó arrived too. Fixed him up temporarily with a packing-case & straw. McCormacks much impressed by his 'cut'. Then came at the gate I met Frau Emmerich. I told her off for the café incident, but afterwards she came in and everything was friendly. She has greatly cooled towards Hitler in two years: told us that Elfriede was dying of T.B. Exhausting German conversation, but Carl helped a lot. Then McCormac's farewell coffee. Splitting headache: never so tired for years. But Salamo kept quiet all night, and we are very pleased with him. Letter from Harrison Smith agreeing to share correction expenses of I, Claudius . Disappointing letter fixing maximum price of [Fray Junipero] Serra book at $15O.

March 11th Monday. It rained during the night: the first rain since January: when it was mostly snow. Made out complete detailed sequence of the rest of Antigua . Feeling better after bed 4 days. Consulted with Laura about Progress of Stories : format decided. Beck told to go ahead. Laura much pulled down by flu. Bronx 1/3 gin, orange juice, vermouth. Good. Found useful anagram for my name: Rose Reatburg. Treating 'v' as 'u'. May use it as pseudonym for Antigua book. Or Rosa Reetburg. Rain most of the day. Sebastian working again. Wrote to Roz. Letter from Isabel about the Life of Fra Junipero Serra , which Laura sent her to sell. Bought from Short for 1000 pesetas. First we suggested we should sell it for him in U.S., as a favour, and asked a reserve price. He said 1000 pesetas and asked Laura “Why not buy it yourself?” She happened to have 1000 [pts] in her purse & bought it. The man who does up packages & insures said to Juan “Only for 2000 pesetas? Worth far more. If the Government knew it would not allow it out of the country.”

Transcript:
March 20th Wednesday. Gelat came and talked for two hours: stories about how he's managed to sell the rest of the Molí property, on behalf of the proprietario , for the sum he reckoned. Now all is sold but one piece which he is buying himself for Pts 6000, knowing well that he can sell it at a profit to Juan de Margarita who bought the Molí and wouldn't buy this at the time: the land encircles the Molí and Juan will have to buy it eventually. Took Salamo for a walk, starting with Gelat who has put some men on the Canellun road to surface it, and then going to the stepping stones . I had to carry Salamo over them because he was afraid, but then he crossed himself. I picked wild-asparagus there for our lunch. Isabel's mother & Josepha came to call. Wrote out my Focus contribution. Bought a sheepshead for Salamo. First kippers for supper for three years. Weather suddenly very warm. Wrote to Miss Middleditch to ask what Arthur BarkerLtd are doing about recovering the money due from Germany: & to Wise for a copy of DeServiez.
