Naples and Pompeii
Slept well. I suppose I awake early but having no watch, could not tell. Still I got up, looked up clean clothes re. waiting for the maid to bring hot water. Finally as no one came, I dressed.
Someone knocked and the maid asked if I was going to Pompeii. I said yes. Found out it was 8.40 and everyone through b’fast. Hurried and ate mine. Then Miss Wilt and Miss Peet came at 9 and I got my things out and sorted.
Saw the Bates there. Miss Wilt bought the tickets and we got in the train. Had a pleasant ride out. Cost 83 cents each and 50 cts. to get in.
There we wandered all day amid the ruins of Pompeii. Ate our lunch in the house of Pansa. Saw several people from the boat among them Mrs. Merrill. We went without a guide.
I got very tired, came out to the train-car station, bought our tickets on the train and came into Naples. After waiting long time, got a no. 4 train. Rode to Toretta [Torretta] and then walked home.
I was so tired, I went to bed at once and had soup and bread and some kind of greens brought in. Went to sleep before nine. Woke up again in the night and I am sitting here writing. Mrs. Dickens lent me her watch but it doesn’t go. She took mine to be repaired.
The tooth Dr. Gates reset is bothering me a lot. Has a big gum boil on the side.
No letters.
