Started making small sketches (in ink & pencil) of my pictures to take down next week to discuss with F.R. A sketch of “Back-Yard in Golden Sunlight” which I sent to the Whitney Museum.
Evening – B & I to Mrs. Shearer’s for dinner. D. Burns & P. Pickering, David & Mrs. Pratt – a good dinner – Later in the evening helping Mrs. S to pick out pictures for her forth-coming show at the Institute.
A beautiful moonlight night.
