The Henson Journals

Monday, August 5th, 1929.

BANK HOLIDAY.

The post brought 7 more vols. of the Loeb Library viz:–

Strabo's Geography, vol. vi.

Isocrates, vol. ii.

Athenaeus, vol iii.

Philo. Vols. i & ii.

Theophrastus.

Cicero's Letters vol. iii.

I worked at the Article, and brought it to a conclusion, buy very ineffectively. The truth is that the criticism of Boys–Smith handicaps me badly. However, I could not make any more bother about it, and sealed it up for posting to the Editor tomorrow.

There was a Fête in the Park in aid of the local Hospital. Happily the weather which was threatening in the morning improved as the day advanced, & in the afternoon had become fine. A considerable number of people came into the Park.

According to the closest reckoning I can make we drove over 1600 miles in the car during July.
