Dr. Scannell gave me the [Leaving Cert Music] programme to-day, and I was delighted to find that Mám and Páp thought I could go in for it. But it will be stiff work, and I was in terrible confusion all day arranging this and that, and planning as to how I would get through the different works. It’s Lesprints in Dublin that set it. We have already decided what pieces I shall play – shivers! I am a terrible fool in getting panicky when I am playing, as I did to-day at my lesson. I hope I will get through alright. There are 300 marks for it. – There has been a terrific tornado in Florida, thousands killed. The wind blew at rate of 150 m.p.h.
