Transcription Notes
Started off walking to Manchester 14 miles at 7 a.m. after saying good bye to the staff and depositing our suit cases on the Mail-Hack. Weather sultry but no sun, one or two showers on the way. We called on Jim Samples but he was out. Some school children, as we left the Samples, called out "we can sing", so I took down a couple from them and would have got more but the school bell rang and they scampered off. We then called at the School, sang them a couple of songs & made a little speech. Called on Polly Patrick and had a pipe with her and a vivacious talk — no songs but arranged to meet her and Mrs Nanny Smith on Friday. Called on Mrs Cis Jones who promised to sing us some more on Friday. Got back to Manchester at 3.30 pretty hot & tired. Directly after our arrival a very heavy shower with thunder — we were just in time to miss it. The smells and greasy food seem worse than ever!Location
