Friday June 21st

Went to Soller with Gelat: bought him a dressing gown for San Juan1, and Juan a wrist watch (50pts). Also a weathered San Juan2 from the baker's (5 pes) and an[RG] oil painting picture[RG] of three rabbits by a Soller primitive (chocolate maker by trade): we gave him 60 pesetas: it was the first he had ever permitted himself to sell – mostly they were scriptural copies. Name, Pastor.
Two more drafts of Lines to Myself, and reading Gordon's life: which was such a give-away that it made one ashamed.
Posada: replastering going on in entrada3, nearly done. Window in sitting-room in and plastered. Comedor [sic: Comidor] 4 ready for plastering and kitchen window has shutters fixed. Strenge gave Laura open work gloves.
Up very late (third night running) reading Gordon & Molly. At the end Laura wrote Gordon a frank letter about it.
Photographs came, some very good.
