Went with them to American Express Office which was closed and then to Cooks where I cashed $10 check and then they inquired about the Amalfi trip. We met the Maims and the Torchkiss at Cook. We went to the Museum and had a guide who showed us the bronzes from the Mediterranean and Pompeii.
Then I took a train back and got here at 1.20, had lunch and talked an hour or so with a Miss Ferris who used to live in Stamford, Conn.*, a guest in the house.
Then I took a book by Anna K. Green, The Woman in the Alcove, and lay down and fell asleep.
Mrs. Dickens came in to tell me that Mrs. Hodgen and her daughter and Pen were there so I had a pleasant chat with them. They go to Rome tomorrow. At dinner we had a funny time but we did get along all right. Miss Wilt did not come to dinner but Miss Peet did and I went down to see her afterwards. Pen had been on the Amalfi drive and told us about it - expensive. We decided to go to Capri tomorrow if the weather is good.
No letters.
*Jennie’s father, Richard Thurston was minister in Stamford and died there in 1895.
