Feeling tired

Saturday, May 28th., Villa des Nefliers, Fontainebleau.

I was forty-three yesterday.

Last week at the Gaiety, Manchester, "Cupid and Commonsense" played to £202 11s. It was the week of the King's funeral, and there were five evening performances and a matinee.

Yesterday I had more success in finding ideas for the last part of "Clayhanger" but I had no success in drawing. I seemed to spend all afternoon in merely arranging still-life objects, and I couldn't decide on any of them. But on Thursday night I did a pretty fair study of Marguerite. I couldn't read anything, except newspapers. I couldn't answer any arrears of correspondence. And after doing nothing all day I was so tired I had to go to bed at 9.15.
