Ther. [Thermometer] SAT. [Saturday] AUG. 28, 1909 [August 28, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Fine.
Cloudless & calm. Very cool at
morn & eve, warm through day.
  I spent forenoon going about
among the shops. Bought a trunk
at Finnigan's for C. [Caroline Brewster], a pipe at
Allen & Wrights for Jim Melvin, 2 doz [dozen]
silk handkerchiefs at Capper & Waters
for presents & an angora sweater
for myself. Called at Brown Shipleys
& drew 30 [pounds]. Met there Jos. H.
Sage's daughter & her friend Miss Jones.
  Back in time for lunch. C. read 
aloud to me most of afternoon & 
evening. She did not go out all
day. I walked to Regent Street at
6.30 & stood there for 20 minutes merely
watching the traffic. It was most
interesting. The cabs & busses [buses] drawn by
horses are still numerous but doomed,
I fear.

Ther. [Thermometer] SUN. [Sunday] AUG. 29, 1909 [August 29, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & calm. Cool at morn & eve,
pleasantly warm through day.
  C. went to service at St. John's
at 8. We breakfasted together in
the coffee room at 8.45. and spent
the forenoon in our private
parlor writing letters. I also
adding two or three pages to my
journal. Lunched at 1 and
at 2.30 went to Westminster 
Abbey in a taxicab. Service began
at 3. Beautiful music. Canon
Henson preached a fine sermon.
He said, among other things, "it
is much easier to be a good churchman
or, what is the same thing a good
dissenter, than a good Christian." 
Walked home & spent evening in our
parlor talking.
