- Tuesday May 7 C.F.V. all morning. Laura in bed. Entrada whitewashed. Did not get up till 2 o'clock when Gelat came and we discussed the car question. Gelat explained expense & trouble of keeping one ourselves; said that he had had the idea himself of giving up camión business to Juan, now that he was no longer young, and devoting himself to work here, and having a single small car to go into Palma with occasionally, with us. He will look out for one. Went with him to see men working on road. Village. Strenge ragging Emmerich. Letter from Oman, with dilatory reply to German question. Letter from Harrison Smith showing 8500 sales in 3 weeks of Claudius the God and a bunch of cuttings including one congrat ing America on having at last a historical novel of international standard. Gelat & Bernado came late. Gelat with sample tile (hexagonal) from Hotel Florida, bought cheap. Margaret Russell sent Jubilee souvenir. Read Mrs. Oliphant's Makers of Jerusalem to Laura who was in bed.
