Transcript
  • Tuesday July 2. To Posada. Only two masons working, two boys, 1 man whitewashing. Also all the water in the well used – aboys bailing it out with from inside. Came back & told Laura. Pepe summoned: rowed by Laura. Promises to get several more men and finish by Saturday. Gelat brings gravel from Can Medo. Undertakes to see that Pepé keeps his promise. Tells of Carindo's secret visit: the médico complains that he has been deserted. Gelat suggests demands to be made which he will grant: e.g. water by day not night for Son Morantes (more convenient to him), offer on behalf of Can Malrich Ca'n Malric to contribute 200 pesetas to making siqui – just so that the Doctor appears to have gained something: the last prize in a competition, says Gelat. Schw. stuff all evening. Wrote to A.G. & to Margaret Russell, with photographs.
