W.A. Kempe diary 24 June 1906 '[Creswell] extraordinary wild looking bird with glass eye.'
Ditto 26 June 1906 At dinner Creswell amused me with some of his experiences he having been everything in America from a grave digger to a waiter.
Next day: 'Cr presented a comic spectacle going up hill of absolute misery with not much control of his limbs & appearance rather like Dan Leno.'
