Transcription Notes
Maud not very well. Probably only indigestion but she has suffered a good deal. We have been working very hard and I think she wants a rest as I do myself. We started off for Spillcorn at 9 a.m. A very difficult walk over ’Tater Gap very steep, and very stony, but for the most part in shade — all very wild & beautiful especially the latter part up Spillcorn creek. Called on Harland Shelton but did not get much in the way of songs largely because an old "Holiness" roller, Silas Shelton was there and groused against "love songs" as the folk-ballads & songs are called in this country! Maud got better as the day wore on, and we had a pleasant trudge home arriving about 5.15 very thirsty!Location
