[[image - double curved line to left of text]]SMN May 12th. Annaversary of my mother's death.. Does she know......

Not a lovely day.. rather threatening. I had much to think about on waking.. It is impossible for me to help wanting.....
Did not go out as I intended to the Park ..Not tempting enough.. Wrote much in this sweet quiet room. To Terence. etc
Called up G's at II30 and was answered by H caling herself "Grandma Gilder". So it has come and is to be called Julia. I am not surprised .. but they are and very much chagrined. 
Poor dear Helena. It would have been the only little pleasure she can have. .. Went in to lunch and walk with D.  Then up Bown to call on F Exste.. Nice to see her though stout and muc[[h?]] older. of course. To Met Mus by myself to see the Rodins. Did not seem quite as great as I have sometimes thought. except two portrait busts. One a man not named. 
Stopped for F.E and brought her down here. Very cheering to mee.. Wants me to sent to Paris next year for sure and I guees I will. Many nice fresh news from P and made me eager to go. 
May came in with Col Dames and I soon got them off to G's to see my things there. .. Dear Jim came at six and to din.. G's called up after and took us off in the new motor...Fine spi[[n?]] way up beyond Grants tomb... Mouse alas in night. ....but dear to have my Jimmy.

Mon May 13th. 
Mrs Pom again and began again on head.. fearlessly but do not think it is going to be one of the best. She brought lovely bunch of roses. Charming day. May read "Sinners." 
Went in at five after rest and found Mrs Van.. and tea. In hansom with her a way and walked back.. not so bd. To G's to din..Marks gorls after and Uncle Chas to talk of Grandma Gˆ[[i]]lder. He looking very handsome.  Jime for the night but late.. With one of his girls. 
Slept well in spite of mouse.
