Transcription Notes
Weather very much colder. I woke up with a touch of lumbago — an ominous sign at this time of year! After breakfast — which we had very late, mistaking the time — I worked at my songs, finishing off The Two Crows somewhat to my satisfaction. Then packed my trunk ready for the journey to N[ew] York to-night. Shall be sorry to leave this place and its beautiful views but I don’t think it agrees with me. The water is full of sulphur and other minerals and I expect this is what is disagreeing with me. I looked through my Running Set Tune — proofs last night & this morning. They are good & wanted but little correction. After tea I played the songs I have been arranging to Maud and believe I have really done more here than I thought I had. Directly after dinner motored to station and after waiting 35 minutes caught the train for New York. Weather so cold that I found it hard to sleep. As usual train suddenly stopped for nearly an hour — heard afterwards engine had broken down — about 3 a.m. so we were 2_ h[ours] behind time when we had breakfast next morning!Location
