- Monday May 6th Mesquida whitewashed by Catalina & Maria Magdalena Martina. C.F.V. all morning. Laura lay in bed reading Jane Austen. Lunch at Can Torrent. Still heavy weather, but somewhat better. Have now done four short chapters of C.F.V. , about 9,000 words. Another 6,000 words will bring story up to the point where the film begins. Have reached the death of Augustus. Put back plates etc in the Mesquida: decided on some furniture to go to Posada. New cups from Palma. On walk with Salamo met two carters trying to raise a mule fallen on or slippery asphalt. Loquats at their best. Wrote to Sanders for copy of Blanding's Castle & account of what books he has of ours. To Honor for new shaving brush, beads from Goods to be brought by Maisie, beads from Lucie as ordered. To one Maurice Firth who was with 3rd Garrison Royal Welch Fusiliers under me at Kimmel Park: now in New York. He wrote to me.
