Transcript

• Monday Ap 15th Up at 6. To Palma with Gelat at 8. New black shoes 40 pts. Umbrella for sun 50. Mat for Can Torrent. WatchClocks to be mended. Table centres runners. Nothing at Margarita Mateu's. Sabater asked Pts. 3125 for 1000 copies of Epilogue (75,000 words) then came down to 2450 [pts]. Said we would think about it. Can Torrent lamp bought, after unsuccessful visit to Gordiola. Lunch in new locale of Mallorca. Felt sick from bumpy early start. Had to take three coñacs . Visit to Library of Circulo. Laura took Troy notes for 2 hours. Then turned out by page boy. Not much in library anyhow. Gelat, with whom we talked business about Cura, escrituras , Valldemossa lighting etc all the way in, went home by camión . When I got back felt sick, too sick to discuss Epilogue , so Laura & Karl did so without me. Notice of award of James Tait prize in papers. Checking up day's cash-leavings found we had 1093 pesetas out of 1100 we took in. As Duran was 40 odd [pts], my shoes 40 [pts], Laura's bill at Bonet 100 [pts] and more, 88 [pts] a debt to Karl, umbrella 50 [pts], this was queer. It has usually happened v.v. before.
