At 6 Ortolan St off Square Monge They are awaiting. Dinner is specially prepared I think Soup – spaghetti – tomato salade – rabbit – potatoes in kidney & gravy – [cheese] with crème – biscuits fancy – coffee & wine (Graves).
After dinner I read some poems to improve my French & amuse them by my imitation of Goyard – They seem to think it rather good. I copy some pieces out & will learn them. She lends me her Larousse & L'Archeologie Egyptienne, & as I have a cold coming on she doctors me up with aspirin & an infusion.

Visit Duke at 5 & ride in staff car to his home. After which I return to mine by metro.
