Transcript
  • Sept 4 Wednesday. To Palma 8.30. Dentist; Laura & I (15 pesetas each) Bought silk stuff for shirt for me & dressing-gown for Laura. Lamp for Laura's workroom 48 pesetas. Gold watch 'Touring' at Pomar 140 pesetas & pale gold chain 50. First once one since my confirmation one lost during War. Lunch at Lena's Bar for first time: very good food but starings. Bought six teaspoons at Pomar for 4 pesetas each. Tarring Valldemossa - Deyá & Valdemossa Valldemossa - Palma road. Coffee at Schwarz & Strenge who are giving up flat & taking another in the Taberna Vasca (bankrupt now) building. On way back Gelat stopped at the finca of the man who bought Molí to sell again. Gelat had fixed up a delicate business for him with the judge. Dead tired by Palma air: but listened-in at Sala to Geneva 1st day report.
