Transcript
  • March 16th Saturday. To Palma in the McCormack's car . Felt very weak. Dentist: have to go back in a fortnight. It rained all day. Saw dog which we liked: 10 months old and affectionate. Good master & mistress. Bought it: 125 pesetas. From a place on the old road to Lluchmayor: windmills and sandstone. The dog came running from a long distance down a patch between fields: greeted us affectionately. Lunch at Mallorca . Schwartz, Strenge & McCormacks. Straight to bed on return. Letters from Mother, Clarissa (in Italy on way home) Horsfield a Transjordan archaeologist about tribunals in Roman camps, Jack Lindsay about anachronisms in Caesar is Dead, defending himself. Laura reported ungegogen ungezogen greeting from Emmerich. After thinking of all sorts of names: Torero, Manso, Otro, Fambá, Cuidad, etc., we hit on Salamó from the Mallorquin: Salamó que es tan sabut.
