Started out about 10:45 to go to museum by No. 6 car from Toretta. Went to wrong place-finally found it-got the car - had a beautiful ride and was carried away past to end of line. Had to come back in car - got there about noon. Spent all the time looking at the Pompeian exhibits.
Stayed till 1:45 - then left and went to corner - waited for car; none came - asked several persons. Some spoke neither English nor French - point to another corner - finally discovered that cars were not running.
Took a carriage to Am. Express. 1 franc. Bought 2nd class ticket to Rome.
Read in reading room that Congress had voted the President fifty millions for war preparations against Mexico. War ships ordered there on account of insult to flag. [US occupation of Veracruz]
Bought a string of coral beads for Marion Kennedy and a thimble. Also postal cards of Naples.
Walked home from American Ex. Co. - pretty tired. No lunch. Packed my trunk. Miss Ferris came in. After dinner finished the trunk. Paid Mrs. Dickens in full.
