Transcript

• Ap 13th Saturday Went with Gelat down to the place where the road is being mended. Estimate 5000 pesetas as the cost of the repairs. To carry the road to the sea will be worth 2500 more. Very little water in the Torrent. Rosa came, brought my blue trousers and waistcoat, but too small. Gelat made Rosa cry, as Laura had already done. Rosa did not know of the Cura's lies and machinations. She may be able to end the matter without scandal: the cura has already forfeited his right to six months occupation of the house, by demanding money for leaving and his bluff with the Bishop has been called. Wrote out my will. Stocks over with, wild gladiolus beginning. Cuttings have all died except aloes and black-centred geranium. Bath. Gamage folding boats 1/2 the price of German ones. Letter from R.Welsh saying that amount of Tait Black award is £116.4.5, which is being paid into my bank. Sent receipt. Laura Karl & I planned Homilies for press. Focus final proofs. Laura says I am looking much better since I have taken daily walk with Solomon; Karl says I look young again, before I looked an old man. I am certainly in good condition. Have done no real work for 3 weeks.
