Transcription Notes
Had a very comfortable night, despite the heat, and had a late breakfast. Then adjourned to the cottage hard by and wrote up my tunes, some 25 or more, making 45 for the week, a very respectable haul. Lunched at 2 when the Corbett’s came back from church and had a rest afterwards. Then went to the station to see about my trunks and on the way back called at Miss Joy’s to find her out. Called on Mr Robinson with whom I had a very pleasant chat. Then wrote several letters, Bank (for cheque book), Dr Ellis, Miss Daisy Moore, Miss Gilman etc. After supper sat on verandah in the cool moonlight, talked, sang songs etc till pretty late. Weather extremely hot but bright & nice. Have decided to give up Virginia for the present and spend the last 3 weeks in West Virginia by way of experiment, to that end making for Ronceverte by the 8.40 a.m. train tomorrow. In this way we shall break new ground, give W[est] V[irginia] a test and continue our explorations in V[irginia] later on, where we know we can get good stuff.Location
