Transcription Notes
Asthma rather better, but weather still terribly hot & stifling. Had breakfast at 7 and at 8.30 sallied forth with Maud, crossed the river in a punt with the aid of a wire manipulated by the ferryman — a perilous business — and then called on Mrs Gentry. She sang till 11.30 some excellent songs. Returned to lunch at 12 and called on her again at 2.30 till 4.45 & got more songs — 20 in all — and then after a short stroll by the river returned to supper at 6. Spent evening writing my tunes in my book. Very tired & rather late getting to bed.Location
