Sat 24. [24 February 1900] Stormy. Walked out with Ferideh after lunch and went to the Armenian monastery where there are two interesting churches with old Damascus work and tiles. The women's church is the traditional prison of Christ. Very funny to hear Armenian being talked. It sounds like Russian. Down through the dirty Jewish quarter to the Valley of Hinnom where we gathered anemones for Nina. Lots of tourists, poor dears, under umbrellas. Two postmasters, a pastor and a school master dined.
