Transcript
  • Nov 11 Monday To Palma by camión , (Karl & I). It hadn't rained there: rained here all day. Buying household things: also 2 handkerchiefs for Laura & new (5) records: 2 Duke Ellington, 1 Louis Armstrong, 1 Jack Hilton & Niña de la Puebla: flamenco. Juzgado : interpreter who could not talk English, because the Juez considered it part of his dignity not to conduct conversations directly with me in Spanish. Questioned me about road. Answered same as Laura, but added that Gelat had undertaken not to build a house opposite at Se Semente de Ca'n Carindo, (insisted it was Cementerio ) to preserve our tranquilidad . Saw Czechoslovakian translator in Lena's Bar: explained lay-out to her. Laura worried when I came home — Nicholas has been very ill, Solomon had been sick, too & Alice had messed the passage & a kitten Catalina's bed. (Nicholas, whiskied, improved) Fire out. Juan got more gas — found gas in old drum not yet exhausted. Finished Mistake Somewhere : lots of mistakes. Laura writing a poem.
