Transcription Notes
Directly after breakfast made for Carman called on Mrs Mandy Shelton and despite the flies and her husbands garrulous accompaniment got many songs. Then went on to Mrs Lizzie Shelton but got nothing, then looked in on the Hensley’s again. Found him on his back with bare feet in the verandah reading. Got me to explain significance of the dardanelles and questioned me about the Pyramids and the Panama Locks! He & the others gave me more songs. Miss Helen Fish stayed night with Miss Bacon. Was glad to see her.Location
