Transcription Notes
We sally forth on a very hot day — all the cold spell has departed, alas! — to Lot’s creek. Get hold of a singer, Mrs Mennes[?], on the way and hoped to get more from her on our return but meanwhile she had been poisoned against us and fled at sight of us — or one of us, I know not which. Tramped 14 miles to no purpose. The first 4 or 5 miles mainly mining & other manufacturing operations. Everything filthily dirty, and what with the heat and the dust and our empty note-books we were glad to get back again about 4 p.m. Decide to take train to Krypton tomorrow and prospect there. We are both bit slack as the weather is very hot & muggy. Still we are comfortable here and the food is better than we have had for some time — barring Lexington. Hotel people nice to us and pay us much attention. Offer to lend me their piano — glad to have it, even if a bit out of tune.Location
