- March 11th Monday. It rained during the night: the first rain since January: when it was mostly snow. Made out complete detailed sequence of the rest of Antigua . Feeling better after bed 4 days. Consulted with Laura about Progress of Stories : format decided. Beck told to go ahead. Laura much pulled down by flu. Bronx 1/3 gin, orange juice, vermouth. Good. Found useful anagram for my name: Rose Reatburg. Treating 'v' as 'u'. May use it as pseudonym for Antigua book. Or Rosa Reetburg. Rain most of the day. Sebastian working again. Wrote to Roz. Letter from Isabel about the Life of Fra Junipero Serra , which Laura sent her to sell. Bought from Short for 1000 pesetas. First we suggested we should sell it for him in U.S., as a favour, and asked a reserve price. He said 1000 pesetas and asked Laura “Why not buy it yourself?” She happened to have 1000 [pts] in her purse & bought it. The man who does up packages & insures said to Juan “Only for 2000 pesetas? Worth far more. If the Government knew it would not allow it out of the country.”
