Transcription Notes

Have rather a grand day at the school with a rather elaborate demonstration in honour of Bingham, his Basque friend Laparra and some professional dancing men belonging to the ballet school introduced by Mr Rath the physical Indianapolis man who takes the morning classes this week. We do part of the Running Set Maud, Rabold and I taking part. I talk a little to the small audience pegging away at the ballet men — to little avail of course. No classes in the afternoon so we have a nice long rest. I take tea with Glenn at the Century Club and arrange to go down to Forest Hills tomorrow to dine with them. Rabold dines with us at the Peg Woffington and Maud and I go to the movies at the Rialto and are pleasantly entertained there. The aviation pictures are particularly interesting. Back about 11 and go to bed pretty tired after a rather strenuous week. Weather still cool but promising to get warmer pretty soon.
