Transcript
  • March 15 Friday. Still in bed. Gelat came. Has located a cross between a Mallorquin and English bull-dog, 10 months [old] for 125 pesetas about £3.1O and no English dog could be got for less than £6, quite apart from the transport here. Laura not well still. Laura had scribbled a note to the McCormacks on the back of a poem she was writing[:] Memories of Mortality . She found it wasn't necessary to send the note so she tore it up. Fortunately found the pieces which I reassembled and made a fair copy of. Went out for half an hour in the garden. Nice day. The yellow creeper is out. The McCormacks seriously thinking of taking Casa Salerosa: the most sunless house in the village. Checked typescript of Chapter 4 of Antigua .
