Transcription Notes
Had breakfast in our own room as we have been doing this last few days, thus saving time as well as shekels — apple, tea, toast (made on Lily’s electric machine) and marmalade — what could be better? Then Maud and I hacked out the words of the last 2 recalcitrant ballads, I wrote out the tunes, dictated a letter to Prof[essor] Raine, made a parcel of the MS and lo! the Berea book was completed and dispatched to Kentucky. What relief was ours. It had been a hard grind the major pull of it having been made by the faithful Maud. Lunch downstairs — stodgy, rich and expensive — rest and then a walk to get some stamps and take the air. Back home to write out the setting to Jack went a sailing and then Miss Sandiford called, chatted in Maud’s room and then joined us at dinner downstairs. Did more work of a desultory sort after dinner and then to bed. I am still feeling hopelessly slack. Perhaps the mountain air and some new folk songs will restore me. I must have some sort of change or I shall be collapsing again. Wrote to Mr V[aughan] W[illiams] this morning.Location
