Went to 9.30 Mass, and thought I was getting sick again before Holy Communion, but I got through alright. Did harmony and the stamps all the morning, and wrote a letter to Páp in which I asked him to get something for a present for Dr. Scannell at the end of the year, and warned him again about giving around his manuscripts to other musicians to look at. I am sure he has lost many through forgetfulness on the part of the receivers. Also wrote to Arthur and Nannie. Had a great dinner of chicken, peas and after custard pudding. Mám is innovating a new era of our working. Went to tennis tournament after, and my partner was a Miss MacCarthy, not much good. We won our first match 5-2, and in the second got first 3-0, but the others actually pulled up 5 in succession, leaving us beaten 3-5! It was Paddie Flavin and Miss Mansfield licked us. Mr. Elrill and partner won the tournament. After tea had more tennis and long chat with Mr. Murray, Superintendant of Civic Guards, a very nice fellow. Found Mám had finished her snaps.
