Transcript
  • Ap 5 Friday. To village to see Gelat. Still in pain but no fever. Told me that he had been selling Son Canals in imagination; Bernado is leaving Deyá for Palma and will probably get rid of Son Canals, first renting it to Anita's uncle. If Gelat can get the job of buying and reselling the property, it will leave him with a nice bit in hand because there are always buyers for small bits of olive land. Wrote to Member of Oxford University asking him to ask a question in Parliament about non-payment of royalties to British authors while Hitler and Company profit from their works. Cold wind. Artichokes to Strenge , and Gelat's sister who gave us the plants. Mended my candlestick at last. Went over Heffer catalogue with Laura & Karl & ordered 9 books. Some proofs from Esperanza: now have half. Wrote to Gamages about collapsible boats.
