He has sold the old steam machinery which will enlarge the Salón a lot: hopes to finish by end of month. Sandstone from the Hotel Florida.

To Posada: doors being fitted, plastering here & there, broken stair mended, final row of stones at back door, ordered other[RG] shelves in despensa [sic: dispensa] 2, again, drainboard for kitchen.

To Epp.Thatcher3 for camphor. To Ian Richmond about film delay. Tried to make plum & peach ice, with salt & ice. Did not put enough salt (1 kilo needed) but after supper at the Posada in the entrada4 (candles) & telling Juan where to put electric lights there, & making a list of work there tomorrow, came back & found a third of the thing ice-cream, solid, the rest liquid but cold.
