Ap 7 Sunday

Wrote to Middleditch asking to arrange H.S. [Harrison Smith] money to be sent direct here: also asking for English money to be sent to Chiswick bank: also discussing terms for book of Claudius film.1
Solomon learning to keep to the path.
Went to Gelat's: he discussed possibilities of electrical power sold to Valldemossa: 8 or 9 thousand pts a year immediately on a 50,000 outlay, because the V. [Valldemosa] power-station is dependant on a machine, always breaking down, which cost 1400 pts a month in fuel alone.
Str. [Strenge] & Sch. [Schwarz] to tea and then to village and then back: swapping stories.
At the café Sch. [Schwarz] wanted to pay. We said "Todo esta pagado"2. Sch. [Schwarz] said ironically "Ah if only some national conference would say that to Germany." Laura said "Hitler would only[RG] say that the German nation was insulted."
Laura and I decided to publish Epilogue ourselves with Heffer as distributor: also perhaps J.R. [James Reeves]'s poems and Tom3's novel4.
Seeds coming up
