Transcription Notes
Called at Gray & Co to find, as usual he was away holiday making. I saw Trench however and left with him the proofs of the R[unning] S[et] tunes to send to Novello’s. Settled several business points & then went on to Meyrowitz to get my spectacles and afterwards to Schirmer’s where I had an interview with Sonneck. Agreed to give Schirmer’s Canadian as well as U.S.A. rights and altered original letter accordingly, initialing it. Sonneck didn’t seem at all ready or eager to consider a second vol[ume] but asked me to give them the refusal of it — to which I assented. Lunched at Old English place. We were to have gone to Rabold’s Pageant at White Plain but the wet weather led to its postponement. In the evening we dined with the Gilman & Rabold at the latter’s old rooms now occupied by the G’s. Had a very pleasant evening singing several songs and humming many of the ‘selected’ tunes I had copied out and put in my pocket. Discussed school prospects and other things. Walked home in very cold weather about 11.30.Location
