Resting in Florence V

A gloomy day outside and another day in bed. Helen came up and stayed a while this morning.

She is going to Parsifal* this afternoon. It begins at 3, lasts till eight and she goes home for afternoon tea in the interim.


Florence stayed a little while but she is afraid of this cold. I don’t wonder. I cough and cough with no result. I am tired of it myself. Had a good nap this afternoon.

Read my March number of Current Literature.**

I had a nice letter from Margaret.

* Wagner’s Parsifal had its Italian premiere in 1914.
**A literary review that regularly ran much fiction, much of it reprinted from obscure sources for national circulation.
