Transcription Notes
Rained without ceasing all day and all last night and temperature fell steadily all day. We found our rooms very cold — as the heating apparatus didn’t work, so worked in our overcoats all day. Got a lot of mail including letters from England — one from Evie and one from Miss Daking, the latter necessitating a cable to France to the following effect Yes preferably with my alterations. I wrote a lot of letters and finished harmonizing the Cuckoo for the second time, this attempt being I think more satisfactory. Except for 2 or 3 trips to the Telegraph & Post Offices we stayed at home all day until after dinner when we again paid a visit to the Movies this time finding the show a very dull one although the entrance fee was doubled for the occasion! The news from France is much better and our minds are more easy than they have been for 2 or 3 weeks. Probably another crisis will yet occur but the 3rd will perhaps be the last, and even that may not come at all. Telegraphed to Afton Hotel for a room as Ellis, who lunched with us, was unable to take us in next week as he will be away in the country.Location
