- Thursday Sept 19th To Palma: Laura Carl & I, also Medora & Francisquito: & Isabel. Doctor said, no tuberculosis only old sclerosis due to some pneumonia or something in past. Gelat met us: paid him 2500 on account, & 1000[pts] as deposit on purchase of Ca'n Gelat - price to be fixed later. Esc. says all well. Laura's throat also not so bad, he says. Bought olive wood cigarette case & Laura got me eau de Cologne & powder. Schwarz went off to Madrid (yesterday he offered to pay expenses of his book). Gelat bought a lot of tables & chairs cheap for Sala at Molinar. Thelin gave us German introduction to St Paul book. Told us of Nazi burglaries of their flat, & tearing up anti-Nazi papers. On return letter from Mother: respectful to Laura. John about David. Harrison Smith about Old Soldier Sahib (not yet read, but Old Soldiers Never Die very much admired).
