Transcription Notes
More proofs from Putnam’s but only driblets alas! Directly after breakfast M[aud] and I motored out to Orly[?] about 2_ miles and drew all the cabins there for songs but returned at dinner time empty-handed! We have come to the conclusion that there are too many people here connected with the mines & the railway and too few who are supporting themselves on the produce of their land to warrant our staying on here. So we decide to move on to Harlan tomorrow & wire Campbell accordingly. We make a few more abortive attempts in the afternoon which go to confirm the wisdom of our resolution to be off to other fields tomorrow. I write several letters in the evening including one to Mrs W. W. Kettlewell. Weather still fine but less sunny and more sultry — thunder about I expect. Sent off proofs to Putnam’s in the forenoon.Location
