[[underline]] August 14, 1914 [[/underline]] Friday
A clear, bright day.
I wrote until 10 A.M., and then loaded plates. Visited with Dr. Peklo until 12:30 P.M.
I then started for Žižkov, left my shoes at a repair shop, subscribed for Národní Listy for two weeks, and then took dinner at the Temperance restaurant.
I then walked to Žižkov, took a photo of the curious narrow, walled-in street "Vozova ulice", and then spent most of the afternoon walking around Mt. Žižkov trying ^[[insertion]] to [[/insertion]] find a good view. I finally took photos 4, 1, 2 and 27, returned to the Temperance restaurant, where I left 3 K. to take out because they could not make change, and went home where I wrote until after 10 o'clock.

[[underline]] August 15, 1914 - Saturday. [[/underline]]
Arose after 6. Sky overcast.
I spent most of the forenoon in arranging my books and papers. Towards noon I suggested to Mrs. Hejda that I would move into my old room (since my return I have been using the small room) if the arrangement with the present occupant was such that he was to have this small room permanently. She agreed, and helped me move in. In the afternoon ( I took dinner at the room) she came to me with the explanation that her husband thought it was like driving the young man out, that he is sensitive, etc. Queer people! I moved back, without assistance. Mr. Uriozek returned.
In the afternoon it was clearer and I took photos 28, 29, 23, 24, 30, 7 and 8. I then went back to the room, - it was then Mrs. H. came, & I moved. Took supper at the Temperance restaurant, reloaded plates, & spent evening in arranging papers, etc.
