Transcription Notes
Decide to return to Asheville & make for Barbourville. Maud ill, worse than usual. But we manage to get to Asheville somehow or other — a very hot and uncomfortable journey. Maud goes straight to bed and stays there all day. Heat worse than ever. People dying in N[ew] York & Boston by the score every day. Worst heat wave for 50 years. I go to Campbell’s office and do my proofs and dictate long letter to Putnam’s, about lettering on cover etc. Dine by myself at 7.45 and then get into my pyjamas and eventually get to sleep. We shall have to be very careful with this intense heat. I have never felt it so much since my last trip through the Red Sea!Location
