Healy recounts how he painted some details and did some “aciding” on three pieces of ruby for the plating of the angel’s dress (Clongowes window.) Healy expresses how the weather is wet and cold. He writes how he left the shops at 3pm and before leaving he received the latchkey from A.E Child. Healy describes how after dinner he walked across town, went into Farrell’s the Tobacconist on O’Connell Street and inquired about his pipe. He writes that they didn’t have a mouthpiece to fit his pipe and had never seen that make of pipe before.
He goes on to say that he left the mouthpiece with them in order to get a new one of the same kind, which they would have to order from Kapp & Peterson. He notes that the price would be 1/6 and he has to call back for it the following week.
Healy concludes that on his way home, he he stopped at a bookstall on the quay and bought a book about the eyes, which cost him six pence. He notes that he had no visitors that night. Note: Three lines of writing, including two quotations have been crossed out with ink. People of Note: A.E Child, Kapp & Peterson, Thomas Kinsella, and ‘Farrell.’
