Was sent by Dr. Scannell on a message to Blarney Street schools. They look pretty dilapidated. These are in a part of Cork in which I never was before. As small as Cork is, I am sure I have not been through 2/3 of it. – Heard Mrs. Sullivan and Mr. Brady play their chamber-music again. It is wonderful. – Had a lesson, and was quite good. That Schumann Novelette is glorious. Finished the first of Esposito’s studies. They are dry and ugly. Got a huge packet from poor Julia, full of splendid stamps and cigarette-cards. She is a good faithful creature. Also got a letter – the third – from Joe Horgan. He is very witty and certainly knows how to write.
