Transcript
  • Ap 17th Friday. Dreadfully cold wind. Laura gave me her old Parker Duophone with which I write this. The nib has been damaged slightly but it is isn't isn't bad. Mended the nib, but spoilt the valve. Gelat is going to Madrid tomorrow. Monday week the ayuntamiento will be removed if it does not previously resign. Yesterday it was going to be molestared – called to account for irregularities – but the Civil Governor had a row at the Desfile on the Day of the Republica about the presence of a canonico on the balcony. Probably then today. A wire has just come for the Mayor from Palma. Gelat related all this & then we went to Can Mado via the Piñets, and had a sobrasada & wine & bread & olives meal at the Fabrica. Madora with face inflamed by toothe ache toothache . Passed a marvellous picnic party coming from the sea. Werner, Broadwood niece, Proxy sister, Abelin, Butifara painter, Herpes, the Pansy. (Jammerlich & the Krasniks had not attended owing to internal dissensions)
