Is attending the Historical Congress in Paris, shares his impressions of the other delegates and his satisfaction that he found some sessions worthwhile ("shrewd questions replaced insincere compliments"); uses his free ticket to the Bibliotheque Nationale to read a book on the Abbey of Moyenmoutier, which he then visits and finds disappointing, also visits St Die which was being rebuilt after the war, and Strasbourg; describes Edward Behr's job as a reporter; describes other people seen during his vacation, including John Bellamy, Peter Davison, Hugh Cochrane, and Christopher Ligota.
