Another busy day. Lots doing in the errand business. Got pictures packed, went to Luxembourg. Lunch. Did a few packing. Then to crate to Am. Ex. Co. sent it off and Miss Sargent and I went to Durrand Ruels to have a look at the Monets and that exquisite Chavennes

Its really wonderful that Puvis dignified refined and wonderfully beautiful.

Took Aldens plaques to Miss Sargents house & said goodbye and then finished packing and grubbed. Got train at 8.45 for Rennes.
 Crowded as usual and measly little racks for baggage. Paid 82 francs for a round trip of 33 days. Ouch.

Smoked and watched others sleep nearly all night. Got in a nap or two But my stretchers took up nearly all my place so I had to sit on nothing and it wasn't much of a game.
