Transcription Notes
Woke up feeling very tired, but after breakfast in bed got up got up and went out into verandah. Then wrote up tunes in my books till lunch, after which I rested in my new & better room. After tea I finished writing out my tunes & then wrote to Miss [Peggy] Scovill and then again to verandah for dinner. Afterward some students came & sang 3 good tunes to me after which I addressed the company & Maud & I sang The Cruel Mother — Then talked to several people and finally went and had my pipe in the verandah talking to Miss Child (daughter of Prof[essor] Child) and Mrs Embree whose husband is Sec[retary] of Rockefeller Trust in N[ew] York! Two rather influential women if I could only get on the right side of them! To bed feeling certainly better though still very weak and good for nothing.Location
