Transcript
  • Oct 8 Tuesday. To Palma village: no ice. No head for Solomon at Margarita's, who is annoyed at our going to the Sala: so made arreglo at the Cas Ferrer. Transcopying Old Soldier Sahib First dahlia. Fine day, rained later. In garden, cut back carnations, planted cuttings of it. Took cuttings of geraniums. Took cuttings of fuchsia to put in a fabi . Nice letter from Sally Graves. [Horace] Walpole's Anecdotes of Painting came. Planted grey-green cuttings along deposito side. Laura slowly at Troy . In evening Laura went to bed & Karl & she & I played “66” with her: she won, 8 games in a row, Karl hardly a point, me forging ahead. When she & I played alone I won 8 in a row & then lost one & then won. The streaks of luck were not easy to account for. Problem of cats: 3 grown kittens wild — too many.
