Transcription Notes
Directly after breakfast in our own room we got ready, packed up my precious MS books and trammed to Harvard Square and went to the Library to see Mr Potter. He called Kittredge down and we discussed how the books should be copied. They decided that the books should be photographed page by page as being more accurate and scarcely more expensive. Then we came back to Boston. I called for my Panama hat which I had left to be cleaned, wrote to Julianda and Bradley at Washington and then Maud and I went out to the Kensington to lunch. I rested afterwards going into a sound sleep for 2 hours straight off! Then tea after which I re-cast my accompaniment of W[illiam] Hall, then went down to dinner, got into flannels and taxi’d to the school for the E.F.D.S. C[ountry] D[ance] Party. A very enjoyable and successful party. Demonstrated Cuckoo’s nest, Brighton Camp, None so Pretty & Lumps [of Plum Pudding]. I talked a little about B[righton] Camp. Mrs Storrows came in for a short while. The Peabody’s motored us back, Pickwick driving. Lily stays the night here in this hotel. Weather still fine but rather cold.Location
