Transcription Notes
Stayed at home all day. Weather extremely hot and close. Wrote up my tunes — 20 of them — in the morning and then went to the Post Office to correct address. Those infernal Western Union people had, as usual, blundered and sent my telegram to Miss Gilman "Bluefield Springs" instead of Blue Ridge. I also wired to Miss Gilman to correct the error. This is the 3rd mistake they have made this trip — Wellisford for Nellysford and "why" for "where" in telegram to Bradley. No one seems to mind here, complacently remarking, "Well mistakes will happen sometimes"! Wrote several letters to Mr Glenn, Miss Hough (Baltimore) & Campbell and Grove Park Inn. We cannot make up our minds whether to go to the latter place for our rest or Natural Bridge. The latter is cheaper and will save us long railway journeys and heavy fares but the food is poor and we both want feeding up. Haven’t yet decided. Rain in the afternoon after which it gets very cold and I shiver in bed nearly all night!Location
