[[start page]] July 15. Got up before breakfast and sketched in vacant lot - tolerable. Cleaned up and went to R.A. Not many new impressions. Went from Sargent to Sargent. "Mrs. Wertheimer & "Lady in Brown". Furse's two daisies - "Lady in Purple". Saw Mr. Hallowe's picture, well above average, serious, much strength but weighted down by his school. Lunched and looked for book-shops. Went to studio. Painted from old lady - productions still pretty middling awful in this line. Schamberg always blows off to a fat Egyptian after supper. July 16 Sheeler's twenty-first birthday. Schamberg and I started off to Lambeth bridge after breakfast. Got there and sketched. Fine motives, but big difficulties. Uncomfortable place and sketch(es) did not go at all well. Ate lunch on dock - quite romantically. Did not care to work there. Went back to Westminster, got bus. Met Miss Herr - which made ride [[end page]] [[start page]] (48) back very pleasant (Tottenham Ct. Road decorated splendidly for visit of Prince and Princess of Wales who were to open Workingmen's College. American flags). Painted old lady again - about the same. Schamberg made nice sketch out of window. Talked after supper with young folks. Then out for a night piece. Sat under E. light for two hours and got a very dubious piece. July 17. Very late getting down. We had thought of Richmond for the day, but decided not to. The girls (Miss Herr and Miss Miller) decided - upon invite - not to go to church. Walked (all four) to Swiss Cottage station and had a good hour's ride out through beatiful English country - green; turned at Swan with Two Nicks, and came home. Warm. Miss Herr stayed to lunch which was nice, talked - music; then we went to Kensington. Had glimpe of wonders [[end page]]
Transcription Notes:
"beatiful" should of course be "beautiful" but I left it as written.
