[inscription reads] " night a filmy crust. Today at times it snowed - a peculiar ghostly, snow as if we imagined it. Early in the evening a bullet-shower. / Show sketch I made Saturday to Keller. He liked it as did Wilcox. He called it post-impressionism. Gave me a criticism. / This afternoon the sun came down to earth in shafts. / Feb 17, 1915 / A cold morning. Late - winter blue clouds. Noonwards they clear and the days becomes a sparkle "
