Sun Ap 14th
A day we afterwards knew to be fateful...The Titanic Wreck and how strange that we and all the world felt no tremblings of fate and horror.  Of course we did not know it till the nex[[t?]] noon..I wrote and did usual chores and went to the Mallet Prevost's to lunch with Francesca. Clayton Johns there and all ve[[ry?]] pleasant...Off to Phila in the 6.34 train and to Lewis's without events.

Tues Ap 16th
Newbold as usual.  Don't remember these days but are unimportant.  Drove alone to the park if I remember right.
No one speaks of anything but the great horror.  A most unjust and unnecessary blunder or rather stupid reckless [[underlined]]carelessness of everything but SPEED for the rich.[[/underlined]]
I am keeping the record.

Went home at three so as to be able to rest for the Rumsey's dinner.  Anna met and how nice to get back.
