In the forenoon I took Prague photos. - + in K. Vinohrady, - 3, 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 23, 24, 27, 5, 6, 28, 29.
I met Mr. & Mrs. Hajiček and he informed me that the "Rotterdam" would leave Holland Oct. 3, and that 50 places would be reserved for Americans from Bohemia. (He told me that was the affair worked by Mr. Voska.)
I took dinner and supper at the Temperance Rest., walked to Žižkov, visited with Mr. Mrázek in the evening, and gave him 10 [[underlined]]00 [[/underlined]] K. Also visited Dr. Domin.
On my return to the room I found a note from Mr. Voska saying that we are to leave Friday!
This brought me around with a rush.
I worked at my negatives and notes until late at night, in an effort to further the packing.
Saw Many "nováčky" on streets the last two days on account of second call.
