- March 22 Friday. Gelat brought Salamo's barrel, prunes, wine, vine supports. Poem: 3 drafts And Should I Fail? (yesterday's) Wrote to A.E.S.G. asking her to investigate a deaf-appliance for Sam. Planted seeds as follows: Mignonette Sweet William, edged Sweet William, plain Ageratum Balsimina Salpiglossis African Marigolds Zinnia -------------- Wall -------------- A ver. and put ashes round. Flowers for house: stocks, freesia and vermouth, marigolds & silver stalk, periwinkles, the English sort, bluer than the ones here. First day Josepha worked with us. Holes dug for vine-arbour supports, and these cemented in, Gelat supervising. Three olive, two almond. He also put in another row, as a surprise, along the torrent. Took Salamo for a walk to the Mirador: on the way took a cutting of orange ball from Son Bujosa. Put the prickly plants from the Fonda into pots. The wine is from Santa Maria & cost 45[cts] a litre — claret. Roca whom I met on the road had seen bull-fights with mastiffs in his youth, at Palma. Two dogs went in at a time: if the bull was too much for them two more. Went straight for the bull's ears & throat. A young bull: he wasn't killed, but returned to the toril when the President decided. The bull was the victor until a dog got hold of his genitals: then this dog was the victor.
