Transcription Notes
The weather suddenly changed and it is cool, almost cold to-day. We breakfast at 6.30, write up our books till 9, then go out. I arrange at Bank to get money and then we walk along the river towards Quicksands, but find nobody to sing. Everyone is friendly but in the town not the country manner. Probably we shall have to set out into the hills to get anything here and perhaps even then we shan’t get much. Anyway we do not intend to stay here more than 2 or 3 days as Hazard offers us many more opportunities. We sally forth again in the afternoon but with no better luck so to-day we drew a blank! Yesterday at Aunt Mar’s I took down by 4000th tune, and my 200th for this trip — quite a double event. I want about 150 more here to complete my 1000 tunes in the mountains.Location
