Transcription Notes
Called at 4.15, get to the station at 5.30 breakfast there & board the 6.10 train for Hot Springs, which however didn’t move out of the station till 7.10 — in true Southern fashion! On arrival call on Mrs Gentry & get 3 or 4 songs from her. Then on to Mrs House & Mrs Ellie Johnson who however were taken so unawares they could remember nothing! Made friends with Mrs Julie Williams, now living in Mrs House’s old Cabin, and got 2 good songs from her. Returned by 12.40 train (an hour late of course!) lunching in the train. After tea wrote up my books, and some letters. After dinner went to Movie show which was amusing.Location
