St. Ives, Cornwall.
July 14. Clear and warm with light N.E.
wind.
  In the forenoon went to Treguna glen
and spent about an hour there, sitting
on a bench under the trees on the edge
of the little ravine. Birds very numerous
but only the Wrens singing. There were 
three of them & they made the woods
ring.
  In P.M. went to Penzance with C.
& E. R. S. by rail via St. Erth. The
Bay of Penzance very beautiful with St.
Michael's Mount crowned by its fine old
Castle a conspicuous object. The town
uninteresting. A curious old stone with
Greek cross in market place. A few
Swifts flying about. Bought some excellent
black Hamburg grapes at 1/9 per lb. [pound].
Strawberries small & poor. Cherries fairly
good. Remarkably good ice cream.
St. Ives, Cornwall.
July 15. Clear and warm.
  In forenoon went through the town
with E. R .S. & Mrs. Simmons, visiting
the studio and feeding the Gulls from
the window. Afternoon spent in
writing. C., E.R.S. & Mrs. S. [Simmons] went to
St. Michael's Mount by coach, starting
at 1 P.M. & not returning until 10 P.M.
I walked up & down the road along
the terrace from 7 to 10 P.M.. Evening
calm & beautiful, many of the village
people taking the air. A Throstle the
only bird singing.
July 16. - Weather like that of yesterday.
To the town in forenoon taking Kodak.
Fed Gulls from shore & took several snaps
at them, then hired boat & rowing out
took others on the water. Drew 50 [pounds sterling]
on letter of credit. Visited Treguna glen
about noon and exhausted the remaining
photos in the Kodak. Spent P.M.
writing.
