Transcription Notes
My foot is better but I am suffering from that d[amne]d medicine. I am only taking half-doses and those 3 times instead of 4 times a day, but this is more than enough to give me continuous headache, pain in my eyes etc. I finish off Army book and get all the letters off and MSS, to Helen [Kennedy], Miss Daking and Clayton. Also write to Constance, Aldrich who is "saving the country" — as he puts it — in Washington, Dr Collin of Chicago, Frankland King and others. Find it very trying to be stuck indoors more particularly as my room is a very dark one and I have to keep electric light on at full blast all day! In the evening get into evening clothes — dinner coat — and go with Rabold and Maud — at Peggy’s expense, her treat — to Shaws Mrs Warren.1 A very remarkable play, tolerably well done. It is I think on the whole as good as anything Shaw has done perhaps his most perfect play. It keeps up bang to the end which his plays rarely do. I am not sure but that the last Act is not the best. Got home about 11 very thirsty so we all had drinks before turning in.Location
