November 2, 1917 Miss Hedges I learned at Cooks had left Yokohama last Spring for her home in Ohio and Miss Day I could not locate through any source I knew of. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank took my Peking currency at 1.35 to the yen which was decidedly better than 1.10 of Chosen Banks. This morning dawned rainy and bad weather prevailed all day. I visited the photographer¹⁰ across from the hotel and he showed me some fine colored slides of Japan of which I bought 28 at 1/2 yen each or 25 cents gold. Later I visited another photographer¹¹ for slides and at T. Enami¹² I found beautifully colored ones and 300 to pick from. Here I selected 55 very artistic ones which also sold at 1/2 yen each. This man is the most artistic and best slide maker in Japan I have met. He sends many slides to the U.S.A. and Europe he told me and will color any slide at this price which you send him.
