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.
