Transcription Notes
Wrote letters after an early breakfast. Then to Gray at 11 to discuss copyrights of gram[ophone] records & to instruct him to register my 8 records at Washington. I looked through Miss Hinman’s, Miss Burchenal’s & Crampton’s books for infringements. Found 2 in Miss B’s Bobbing & Joe & Ribbon dance. G[ray] is communicating with Schirmer. Then to Custom House to get my film freed, but found this impossible. It may be a week or more before I can do this! American red tape is like German barbed wire! Lunched with Gardner at Woolworth Building & had a long talk with him about records which may come in useful later on. Home again correcting Ditson’s proofs — nearly finished them. Went to Academy for reception — nearly 200 there. Taught for an hour "If all the World", "Tideswell" & "Jenny Pluck Pears". Demonstration not very good — except the Flamborough. Afterwards had a long consultation with Miss Beegle, Mrs Anderson & Miss Beiderhaze at a hotel over drinks about the N[ew] Y[ork] Pageant. Fear there is no money in it but I may be advisable to direct it. On reaching home — though 1 o’clock — I sketched out the items of an English interlude. It ought to go if well done.Location
