Transcription Notes
Directly after breakfast finished writing up my books & then heavily laden with our lunch started west in search of John Wells. Called on a Mrs Carver on the way who sent us on to a Mr Sam Freshoar her uncle where alas we lunched. He promised to sing to me but a visitor, "Brother Clark", calling he backed out of his promise & refused to sing anything but hymns — o these infernal Methodists!! Then we tramped endless miles to John Wells from whom we got nothing. Returned about 5.45 very tired after a 14 mile trudge with no results. Called on Pack[?] Tredway who also was smitten with Methodist scruples & refused to sing ballads. A weary day without gain.Location
