Summary

Mora describes his social activities: visits with friends, dinners, including a dinner at the MacDowell club where he participated in a stunt that involved 14 artists drawing at the same time on one long sheet of paper. He mentions progress on his artworks, a visit to an exhibit, and commissions including one from the consul of Uruguay. Includes three sketches: one of a man with an umbrella on a rainy street; one of a man looking at paintings in a gallery, captioned "Pratt Institute;" and an unfinished sketch of two people either fighting or dancing.
This is one of 242 monthly pocket diaries kept by Mora in the F. Luis Mora papers.
