Leah Hirsig Diary Entry Tuesday, 4 November 1924

About 1 p.m. ASTRID'S face constantly before me—it is calm and beautiful in a different way from what I knew it even after she sobered up in Paris.
I feel sure—in fact, I found myself thinking now all will be well for Astrid has ? something or other, I forget exactly what. Those were not the words—they were "All will go well now that Astrid has found herself."
It is dark—I must have slept a long long time. I'm chilled too. Woke with the "Strike, strike the master chord etc" tune very strong in my mind
Had a fine soup before going to sleep.
It must be —— no ——
I hear it played on an organ—a bit distant.
