Transcription Notes
Did a little packing after breakfast and then went off to see Jenkins the Russell Sage librarian concerning the Putnam folder. He approved the latter and promised to send out 650 of them to a special list of libraries which he has on hand. I am to let Putnams know of this list so the folders are to be sent to me — or rather to Miss Gilman — and then to him. Had a talk with Glenn who advised me to call on Dr Pritchett. Then to Rabold’s room where I played my Jig airs and my accompaniments. We all lunched with the Gilmans and afterwards talked with Miss Beiderhaze who looked in. I then went to Putnam’s and arranged about the folders, and afterwards called on Dr Pritchett with whom I had a friendly talk. He said the war was swamping all their funds at the moment but held out some hope that some day they might be able to give me some assistance. Home to tea and then began packing in great earnest and so continued until dinner which we had downstairs. After dinner wrote several letters to Constance, Joan, Chase, Aldrich etc, Lewisohn & Jenkins. Weather worse than ever, very cold with violent show flurries, anything but a spring day. Hope we may run into better weather tomorrow night at Washington.Location
