- Oct 4 Friday San Francisco Heavy rain at 8 o'clock & then showers. Finished Almost Forgotten Times [Chapter] XXXVIII. Only one left now. Amador getting green olives for salting. Told of first fighting in Abyssinia. Finished A.F.T. [Chapter] XXXIX which is the last of the book: Karl has still 11 sheets to type. Gelat came with Solomon's kennel & Miguel creosoted it. Gelat & I went up to view the spring: no good: went higher & found quite a good one — perhaps 30 or 50 litres an hour, more by searching. Settled accounts with him, including carpenter's bill. He had mended the donkey “ carreton.” Went with him in afternoon to Can Medó for apples, grapes & beans. To Posada: well nearly done. Laura dissatisfied with Magdalena who finds life lonely: & Isabel's careful touch is missed. (Gelat spoke to her.) To village: heard wireless news of Adowa advance. Damas de noche budding.
