Transcription Notes
Packed after breakfast, sent trunks to the station and went over, got tickets etc and finally left at 12.30 for Washington arriving at 4 p.m. Met Miss Florence Cobb of Hindman on the train and sat and talked and had lunch with her. On arrival taxi’d to the Hotel Powhatan and took rooms which Bradley had reserved with us, rather nice ones. Dined at the hotel and then went up to see Mrs Aldrich with whom I had a long and pleasant talk. She told me about the arrangements for the lecture on Tuesday and asked Maud and me to dine with her on that evening. I wrote several letters in the afternoon. My Schirmer book arrived — the six complimentary copies.1 It is well printed but I am not enamoured with the cover which is white in colour and will soon get soiled in use. Weather very warm, dusty & windy. Washington, now that all the trees are out in full leaf in the boulevards & parks looks very beautiful.Location
