Wed [i.e. Friday] 23. [23 August 1901] Left at 10 and walked up to the B‰regg which we reached at 11.20. Lunched and sat about talking to the people till near 2, then up by a most lovely path leading past an Alp full of monks' hood and over rocks above the Eisneer of the Lower Grindelwald Glacier to the Schwartzegg hut, 4.45. Lots of flowers on the last slopes, arnica, the wine red gentian, fluffy things, and by the hut the small blue gentian and forget me nots. When I had had tea there arrived Gerard and Eric Collier who introduced themselves to me and we spent a merry evening. Their guides were Brauwand[?] and Heimann. This is a specimen of Eric C.'s German "Wo sind mein Stiefeln?" He was the scholar of the party! I saw a marmot.
