Transcription Notes
Missed Bradley at the Florida so breakfasted at Hotel. After writing some letters etc went in search of Julianda and ran her to earth at the Red Cross place. Arranged for her to lunch with Bradley Maud & self at Ford conservation[?] place. Then went round to B[radley’s] office and had a long talk with Sanger one of the chiefs of the Camp Activities Com[mittee], showed him Miss Daking’s letters which so impressed him that I left them to be copied. Something, with B[radley’s] assistance may come of this. Decided to go on to Woodstock by 3.30 train tomorrow, wired for rooms and took tickets. After lunch rested and then (after nearly killing myself by letting the wardrobe attachment of my trunk fall on my head) went out to meet Mrs Arthur Willert 2334 Mass[achusetts] Ave[nue] and Mrs Aldrich to tea. Talked about mountain experiences and foreshadowed a lecture in Washington in about a fortnight’s time. Met Shale [Shane] Leslie of Ludgrove there who is doing Sinn Fein work here. Dined with B[radley] & Maud with Julianda and afterward went round to a friend’s house and on her piano played my Schirmer accompaniments which they - & especially Bradley — seemed to like very much. Spent a very jolly evening there with Julianda & her room- mates — too numerous to specify, as usual! — and then trolleyed home about 11.30.Location
