[[preprinted]] [[double line]] Tuesday, March 24, 1908 [[line]] [[preprinted]] On the Fritz today. I got a blister as big as a Bryan dollar on my heel from wearing a pair of those bloomin' Parsee shoes. However, they came to only twelve annas, so my experience didn't cost much. Smith put on some spavin-salve when tennis ^[[time]] came around and as it read on the yellow paper, "Be sure to work the horse," I went out and Stritt and I won a hot doubles, nine to seven no gate. Weather Slick. Business rotten. Not a show in town. [[end page]] [[start page]] [[preprinted]] [[double line]] Wednesday, March 25, 1908 [[line]] [[preprinted]] Nothing to do today but write a letter to NY. This sitting around doing nothing all day is beginning to pall on me. Fact, I'm getting fed up on it. If I only had some young thing to sit in my lap and fondle me the time might pass a little less slowly, but we're denied even that harmless amusement out here. It do beat hell. It was Mulvaney, I think, who'd "put his feet through ivery wan o' th' tin commandments," but that was in India, come to think of it, not Aden. They say things happen over there, ^[[if]] you're not looking. This is a Puritanical spot, though.
