Mrs. C.M.K. on Nov 4, 1932 writes "We drove down the Palma-Valldemossa to within 4 K of Palma v turned towards where the new water reservoirs --- There we found the Mill of Son Togores just beside it beyond it is the house of Son Togores. Standing in the gateway of the house & looking down the road straight in front of one, you see on the right hand a Cow house and on the left opposite the Cow house 3 Olive trees" -- the only mes visible but no mandragora.
"There is a Brotherhood there so it is likely to be the right place. There are 2 other Son Togores.
