Transcription Notes
Maud had breakfast in bed. I talked to a man here of the name of Bell interested in the camps. His whole interest in the war was centred on the doings of the American soldiers. He knew and cared just nothing at all about the present tremendous drama in France — "it will be all right when our boys get over there"! This is quite a typical attitude in this Southern part of America! Then I worked at "The Two crows" and made numerous notes which may be useful some day. After tea wrote to Mrs Vaughan Williams & sent her the tunes. Weather very dark & rainy and awfully close & hot. I got some newspapers by late afternoon’s post and read them after dinner on the verandah. It is very hard to get news at a place like this. Practically no papers get here. The general interest in the war is very small indeed.Location
