Transcription Notes
Called at 6 a.m., breakfast at 6.35 and to the station soon after 7 only to find our 7.40 train an hour late — as a matter of fact we didn’t get off till 9.15! O these Southern slackers! Nice to get into the mountains again and see our old haunts round Marshall and Hot Springs, the Hotel at the latter place now desecrated by becoming an internment camp for the officers & sailors of the German Liners, the Vaterland etc. Arrived at Asheville at 3.15 — Eastern time — and motored up to Grove Park Inn where we occupy our old rooms nos. 280 & 282. So now this tour is finished. I am feeling rather sad but greatly relieved to know that I have reached a haven of rest without mishap, where I can eat, sleep, write music and I hope get some flesh and strength again — I sorely need both. And there are the 600 tunes in my trunk collected this year — not without some expenditure of physical vitality.Location
