Transcript
  • Saturday. June 22nd To Posada: plastering of entrada will be finished today. Sink brought up. Fetched Gordon & Honor: Laura read them a severe letter she had written to Gordon about his indecisiveness & insults. He undertook to cable to Molly ending things. Worked on Lines Address to Myself & Address to Customers ( Receipt for Moneys ) and What Then? Sea: swam to swallow-rock with Mary & Karl. Grey mullets & swallows. Fishermen gave me a coral plant. Solomon chased a goat, got it down, sucked its ears. I lost my sun-glasses in the excitement. Stones for Posada. Very hot weather which makes me feel well. One sheet only for the last three nights. Work started on boat-house. Play on Plaza: The Two Brothers in Spanish and Deafness of Don Joachim in Mallorquin. Back at 1.30. Won wrist-watch in raffle for 2 pesetas 25. Worth about 35 pesetas. First occasion ever. No 333. Felt sure to win, too. Laura in white taffeta red trimmed, white cornelian beads rose-topaz earrings white lace cap.
