Transcription Notes
Packed all the morning and settled up things generally. Lunched at the Kensington. Lily came in afterwards for a short while and went with us to the station and saw us off to Wellesley. We arrived at 3.30 and met by Miss Hibberd who motored us to the Hennenway Physical school where I have a long interview and discussion with the Principal, Miss Holman, and her lieutenant and teacher of folk dance, Miss Manship[?]. The former a nice old lady of very limited views and knowledge, the latter a stupid and very ignorant commonplace teacher. Miss Hibberd said afterwards she had never seen so many books discharged in so short a time! Then Miss H[ibberd] took us over to Tower Court, where we had tea and were introduced to many members of the Faculty. Dressed for dinner at 6.15, after which another reception followed by a lecture on ballads in the Hall. Caught the 9.54 train back to Boston and got to the Hotel about 10.45 very tired. The lecture went fairly well — I was rather tired with overmuch preliminary talking and did not speak very easily or fluently.Location
