Fr. Francisco Palau is in Vedra for some days, thirsting for silence and solitude, aiming at organizing things and those of his
directees.

It has been four days now that I live alone in themidst of these large rocks. I found a big cave where there is water, and one trickle is enough for my consumption. Biel and Ramon were with me onthe day of the grand feast of Prophet Elijah and in the evening they left, and will come back on Friday of this week.  (L 39)
