Yellowed lined notebook paper with handwritten text in blue ink. The paper is a light tan color with darker edges and visible wear on the corners. The blue lines are spaced evenly apart. Two dates are written: "November 5th 1905" and "November 10 1905." The handwriting is cursive and includes the following text: "November 5th 1905. A very fine Sunday. Went in swimming at the L et. and walked around the beach naked, for an hour and a half. November 10 1905. Received #400.00 from Mrs Williams for all paintings. The Pomernde. She is delighted with it. She appreciates a very thing which I felt I was lacking." The notebook page is marked "6" in the bottom-left corner.
