7 R.[aiders] P.[assed].
MAS [Maurice A. Sutherland] Chess. Showed his game (on Feb 8): he took it seriously, and lectured for half-an-hour on Theory! I didn’t feel like playing, was careless & got into messes 2-2.
3 o’c I.K. [Isidore Kerman] here: I was (a) 3/4 asleep (b) 7/8 drunk (c) totally unprepared (d) Down on my luck & browned off! but he said he would try and find a bloke with £2000. I gave him No 19 “Temperance" [Temperance: A Tract for the Times]—ex machine deo was the superscription.
