Transcription Notes
Got luggage off at 7, and then started to walk over the mountains to Alleghany after taking down a good song from the postman first. Called on Mrs Gwynne on the way and got 3 or 4 songs from her. At Devil’s Fork called on Minta Carter who told me to look up a blind girl, Linnie Landers, between there & Carman, in the forest. This we did & got 5 good songs from her. Arrived at Alleghany about 3, changed, called on Hamiltons and wrote out songs before dinner & after dinner. Arrange to go to Spillcorn tomorrow & Asheville on Thursday.Location
