Transcription Notes
Visited Bradley at his hotel in the morning and heard a Mr Triplett play the fiddle, but got nothing of value from him. In the afternoon we went to the Childers in the hope of seeing a man who could describe some of the dance figures they vainly tried to perform last night. But he was out. A cow, while we were there, swallowed an apple and nearly suffocated, but eventually coughed it up, greatly to the relief of Mr Childers who quite expected to lose what he called his "cow-brute" or his "property". Then we were entertained by Miss Stone and her staff at the Rest House, a log-cabin high up on the hill behind the hospital where I sleep. A most pleasant evening. A rare good supper for which we were very grateful and a nice general talk. We sang & Maud danced some jigs — altogether a very restful & enjoyable evening — but so far collecting here has been a complete failure.Location
