Transcription Notes
Independence Day! We celebrated the day by singing The Star Spangled Banner and God Save the King at the Singing Class! I demonstrated in Bean Setting also! We decided to adjourn the afternoon classes to-day so as to allow students to see the procession if they were so misguided as to do so! Lunched quietly at the Algonquin, had a longish rest and after tea watched the aeroplanes doing stunts over N[ew] York from our window, sent off a dozen Running Sets to various people and wrote a few letters. Then gummed papers on to my collecting books in preparation for the autumn work. Rabold came in about 6.30 and we went out and dined together at Peg Woffington’s. He came back with us and we found Peggy waiting for us at hotel and we all adjourned to my room where we sat chatting till a late hour when we all had "fruit lemonades" before we separated. Weather a good deal warmer.Location
