[17 october: 1893]

Such grim musings as have been occupying my mind of late unfortunately seem

To suggest a possible link to the fate of my learned friend and colleague

Doctor ignatius stone. that brilliant researcher was last seen in command

Of all his faculties whilst on an expedition to the ruins of the sumerian

Contemplation of their existence would sunder a man's tenuous hold on the

Reins of sanity.

When i later visited him at the sanatorium in england i found him to be a

Tragic shell of the man i once knew a man beset by imagined terrors and

Ever wary of the immemorial horrors which he claimed lurked at the periphery

Of humanity's perceptions. indeed i was glad i had taken a journal into

Which i could transcribe his delusional rants for he had a great deal to

Tell me about the dreamer in the catacombs of ur:
