[Excerpts from the journal of Dr. Percival Hampton]
October 8th, 1928
It's colder here than back home! Dermot [Frobish - Dr. Hampton's valet] seems to be handling it well.

I met Jérome's contact [Langdon Jensen] today. He really is quite odd. Despite, or perhaps because of, his oddities his glasswork is quite impressive. His use of color in his work is unique and ... [Dr. Hampton goes on to describe the work in great detail]
... the greatest potential application of his slides lies in the application of mixed slides. Yes! Why didn't I think of it before? One glass slide with a mixture of color, imperfectly swirled together, could have untold ramifications on the science of photo-therapy. [Dr. Hampton spends two pages theorizing on ways to apply these "mixed slides"].
... I have commissioned three such mixed slides and have arranged to pick them up in one week. In the meantime, Mr. Jensen has offered us tickets to see a play on the 18th. It seems Dermot and I will have an opportunity to go "slumming" after all!
