Transcription Notes
A lot of proofs arrived. I looked them through at high pressure in the morning and got them off to Putnams by the 1 o’clock post — record time! In the afternoon Miss Corwin[?], the librarian called for us and we went down to interview Mrs Talithah Powell, in the Hotel Bus! She sang me some good songs including Bailiff’s Daughter of Islington. At the end of the séance her sister started a prayer meeting, praying herself, followed in succession quickly by her brother who especially commended us to the Almighty for the "profitable" work we are doing! I was in deadly fear that the prayer making would extend to me but happily I was spared this ordeal and indignity. Prof[essor] Raine dined with us. We breakfasted with the President who consented to find money for Berea Ballad book. He is quite interested & asked me to address Faculty again on Wednesday.Location
