Reading "The Last Days of Pompeii" in Naples
I spent the morning looking over my trunk re.tearing up papers. In the afternoon, I was going at 3:30 with Miss Ferris to ride to Posillipo, but she had to wait for a dress maker and for afternoon tea, so it was 5 pm before we started.
We rode a short distance which proved to be the end of the car line. Then we got out and walked a few steps, but Miss Ferris didn’t like it so we got into the car again, this time in the closed part and were soon back at the pension. There we took a short walk to Toretta to do an errand and walked back.
Major and Mrs. Rogers left today for their home in Malta. They turned out very pleasant people after all and we exchanged addresses. I gave Mrs. Rogers the new buffalo nickel and the new Lincoln penny.
Came to my room soon after dinner and read The Last Days of Pompeii [1834].
War began in Mexico. Vera Cruz taken.
