Transcription Notes
Another broken night coughing. This place I find very relaxing. If I come here again will try & get rooms higher up. Wrote a lot of letters after breakfast and then got lantern slides etc into order for lecture. Was interviewed at length after breakfast by Mrs Enaline(?) and gave her one of my photos. After lunch was motored up to University with Miss Young. Had a rehearsal of cinematograph film & dances (Rufty & Hey Boys) & then lectured in Univ[ersity] Auditorium. From 4-5.35 showing cinema, slides & dances. Seemed very successful. Audience crowded, some standing. Dined at Univ[ersity] by myself and after a pipe went over to Hughes High School and took evening classes 7.30-9.30. They danced 11 dances quite decently Peascods, Sellengers, 2 Processionals, Maze, Bl[ack] Nag, Row well, Butterfly, Rufty , Heartsease & Sweet Kate. Seem to be suddenly interested & getting into the dances. Applauded & encored quite a number of them.Location
