- Friday June 21st Went to Soller with Gelat: bought him a dressing gown for San Juan , and Juan a wrist watch (50p[ts]). Also a weathered San Juan from the baker's (5 pes) and an oil painting picture of three rabbits by a Soller primitive (chocolate maker by trade): we gave him 60 pesetas: it was the first he had ever permitted himself to sell – mostly they were scriptural copies. Name, Pastor. Two more drafts of Lines to Myself , and reading Gordon's life: which was such a give-away that it made one ashamed. Posada: replastering going on in entrada , nearly done. Window in sitting-room in and plastered. Comidor Comedor ready for plastering and kitchen window has shutters fixed. Strenge gave Laura open work gloves. Up very late (third night running) reading Gordon & Molly. At the end Laura wrote Gordon a frank letter about it. Photographs came, some very good.
