Transcription Notes
Breakfasted at 9 a.m. then set to work in earnest on letters etc. First I dictated to Maud descriptions of figures of Afton dance and finished that off. Then I wrote 10 letters to Barnicott, Dr Rouse, [….?] Duncan, Geo[graphical] Society, Bank, Miss Hewitt, Gray, Bradley Alphonso Smith and cleared the slate more or less to my satisfaction. Then lunch and a long talk on the verandah with our lady friends Mrs Willoughby Smith reading a letter from her sister describing a visit to the Fabian Summer School in Surrey. Rested, wrote more letters and began packing. This needed great care as after tomorrow we shall not see our trunks till we get to Washington. Had a cryptic telegram from Bradley evidently wrongly transmitted, but I gather that he has engaged rooms for us at the Dewey. Also received proof of Cut[?] from Gray much to my satisfaction. Had a long talk with our friends here after dinner trying to interest Mrs Willoughby Smith & Miss Purcell in the Gilman School. Telegraphed Miss Gilman to hold mail for the moment. Weather bright and sunny but not too hot — just nice.Location
