Wrote long letters to Fr. Engelmann, and to Grossmutter [grandmother in Dachau] and went shopping with Mám. After dinner we carried the table out of the dining-room and prepared the room for about 20 people who came shortly afterwards for Mám’s repetition of her concert. She played splendidly and I enjoyed Chopin’s Scherzo and ‘St Francis Preaching to the Birds’ especially. After ten I gave Sophie, Betty and the Hilsers a cinematograph show and then we had charades. Hurriedly packed books and a few other things and left for Dunmanway. Had a very enjoyable two-hour drive and then a cosy fire, supper and bed in the Presbytery.
