31 July 1911 – 6 August 1911

Had a letter from Dr. S---- enough to wring tears from a monument. Sat like a valetudinarian in the Park all day getting fresh air--among the imbeciles, invalids, and children. Who cares? "But, gentlemen, you shall hear."

Still another chance--quite unexpectedly received a second nomination this morning to sit for another exam, for two vacancies in the British Museum. Good luck this.
