I had a good night’s rest. My tooth is better. I still have no watch so Amelia called me. Miss Wilt came in before I was dressed, I gave her all the change I had - 20 liras. They left for Rome and I went to the carriage to see them off.
Had b’fast with the English doctor. I came into my room and I am writing this up and doing various odds and ends. Had a nice letter from Peggy* and one from Alfred* - my first letters from the children.
Puttered all the morning-went out into the office and found Mrs. Dickens there. She was suffering badly from asthma. Miss Ferris came in and we had a long talk.
After lunch, came in and wrote to Florence Humphrey - then went out with Miss Ferris. We went to Capodimonte.**
Coming back, met the English doctor. The table was full tonight at dinner. I sat next to the young English fellow who came yesterday and we talked fishes almost all the time. Spent the evening in the drawing room. Got my watch back.
* Peggy (Margaret) and Alfred, two of her children.
**The Palace and Museum of Capodimonte is a grand Bourbon palazzo in Naples, Italy, formerly the summer residence of the kings of the Two Sicily’s. It houses the main museum and art gallery of the city.
