TCD MS 10821 folio 60 recto
[Sept. 7th 1916] where we caught a motor lorry which arrived at 12 o clock at Abbeville. Here we lunched & I then caught the express to Paris which alas arrived half an hour late & caused me to miss my train at the Gare de Lyons by 5 minutes & so had to wait to midnight before I could catch the next one.
Sept 8th. Arrived at Fontainebleau at 2 am & had to climb over the palisade to get into the Hotel as the outer bell would not ring.
