Transcription Notes
Breakfasted at 7.30 — a late hour because of the day! Had a long walk about the place afterwards. Met Dr. Rogers who was motoring John on to M[ount]. Smokey. Made friends with a Mrs Dyer who might have songs. Dinner at 11.30! Rest afterwards and tea. We then went out again and called on Mrs Dyer. Her daughter knew something but not much — not enough to take — but her uncle Mr. Trotter Gan came in and we induced him to sing Derby Ram and Edward, the latter a very good version much better than Mrs. Gentry’s. This heartened us considerably and we returned with our songs in our books to supper at 6. After supper we wrote out our songs and went to bed, or prepared to do so, soon after 9, as breakfast tomorrow is fixed for 6 a.m.!Location
