Tues.
Oct. 12
I was up early and the
first to break fast and at 8
with the bus "Frank's Flyer" out
to Ryala, a very charming road
path of the way along the track:
walked from Ryala out to
San Ramon Penal Colony and
met Mr. Cowley and Mrs. Chambers
the first, Lufth. We drove over to
the house and loafed around till
lunch time; met Miss Cowley
a most charming woman.
Took a little rest and then
Cowley drove me all around
the estate, a wonderful place
and wonderfully managed.
The rain drew us in but
later we looked the friggery
over, came back for tea.
Walked into the prison and
saw the men at meals
Had a most gorgeous arm-
set.
After dinner Mr. walked down
to Mr. Chambers house and he
gave me a concert on his vi-
olo. It has been a most
charming and interesting day.
