Transcription Notes
Still feeling very seedy with headache & sore throat — neither acute but both very unpleasant. I should not be surprised if it turned out that I were trying to get Influenza! Hope to goodness not, but in any case I shan’t get it badly. Wrote letters all the morning till 11.30 when I lay on my bed in my rug trying to get warm — bad sign! Mistook time of lunch with Aldrich and arrived 10 min[utes] late. Had a long talk with John Glenn after about the Campbell’s & ballads. Wants me to go & see the Campbell’s as soon as possible and suggests that I go there between St Louis and Pittsburgh and that I go to Charlottesville en route to see Professor Alonzo[Alphonso] Smith who has a ballad article in Mus[ical] Quarterly this month. Accordingly wrote to Campbell & Smith. Long letter from Mrs Callery — P[ittsburgh] people are thinking of offering me 900 dollars for 4 weeks. Say I will accept & suggest April. Wrote long letter to Maudie & others posting one to Constance in the morning. Marcosson came to tea & we had a jolly talk for an hour or more. Dined alone as Wilkinson at Yale. Am going to bed early as I feel seedy. Took aspirin at dinner.Location
