Transcription Notes
I harmonize all the morning, finishing off The Cruel Mother and then starting on William Hall. But I am feeling far from well; my hay fever is very bad and asthma particularly at night. Maud has been indexing our recent finds and we both have been examining the 230 tunes we have taken down this trip. The more closely we look at them the more wonderful they seem to us. I do not think I have ever had such a rich haul at any other collecting bout either here or in England. I calculate that I have taken down in this last tour about 50 first class tunes, i.e. over 20% a very high proportion. I could harmonize a couple of volumes out of this material only. The piano gets more & more irritating and nerve-wracking. I seriously think of moving away from here and if there were any suitable place close by I would pack up tomorrow and flit! There are about 40 or 50 visitors here besides ourselves but no one of the slightest interest so far as we have yet been able to discover.Location
