[inscription reads] Underground channels – moles? / A bullet shower - rattles on the leaves - a yellow silver poplar against the sky is sunlight. / Leaves whirling over the ground is a sparkling sight. / Afternoon - talk with model - Tells of Italian marriage, railways, police-man etc. Has no ear for ragtime, no eye for American girl. / Day meets night with continued grey windy clouds & cold breeze. / Nov 6, 1914 / A wonderful day.
