Transcription Notes
Decide to take a day off and get ready for another tramp to Villamont & Montvale tomorrow. Wrote up my tunes on the verandah after breakfast, wrote to Rabold (re Miss Shaw) and than had a bath — this is the only time in the day when the water is hot. This occupied us till dinner. Weather as hot as ever, but beautifully bright & sunny. Maud went into Roanoke by the afternoon train after tea to get supplies, canned soups marmalade etc, as the food here is very inadequate. I first tried to harmonize in ball-room but the attendants came in to clean so had to leave. Wrote a long letter to Constance and one or two others. Met Maud at 7 train & carried her package back. Weather keeps very hot with occasional showers not of much account. My asthma is getting pretty bad here, scarcely surprising considering the dense forest in the midst of which we are living!Location
