-- FOREVER.
Wednesday October 7 -1914
spry tree it blows!
[Left margin]
Aetho is was my morning to get up and cook, Jerome
traveled far to cold and had breakfast well started before I
had returned to the fry heaven from a delicious afternoon in
the green country -- for which are the dreams that live on fire
in the cold. He climbed lightly out of my trunk with an atmosphere
of energy; Jerome loaded filled the water tank and was making
meal efforts to start the engine by the water page -- he
failed x Result: much profanity and perspiration (as for routine)
-- Since any small diversion inlets towards a
preservation of mental equilibrium under these condi
tions, I have taken to the delightful occupation of
dictating my diary with such a free ion attitude
as produces not more favor than froms, regardless
as -- the position proved may prove --
After much work Jerome missed the water piking
and I, meanwhile dicta, filled the tank. This evening
we made bread, or rather we baked the bread I
made three days ago. It was a grand failure
but surely less tough than the ship's biscuit x I also
baked four panfuls of biscuit x
At dinner we ate the last speech of our
canal meat whilst we have carefully boarded. But it is
very occasionally a luxury x Indeed and it is
a fitful luxury with its rank taste,
Two pages in two days! And then some times when
a page stuffs for a month -- but then I had lots to say.
