Transcription Notes
Had a fairly good night but it is difficult to get used to the cold. It froze again last night, and a fortnight ago at Hazard it was so hot we had to keep the electric fan going! Wrote several letters in the morning, and wrote up my books. Then got two empty bottles from the Drug Store and then got them filled with distilled water at the Ice Plant place so that we can make some tea — the sulphur water here is just impossible. In the afternoon continued writing out my notation of the Running Set for Maud to type — rather a big business for both of us. Wrote to Mr Glenn about the use of his Hall for my lecture next month and went to bed early so as to prepare for St Helens tomorrow, my last day this trip which we shall spend in collecting songs. The tunes I took down yesterday bring the number of those I have collected in America to 1001 — which is the number I hoped to reach this year.Location
