Transcription Notes
Finished off packing and sent our trunks off at 9.30. Wrote a lot of letters, looked through papers & packed book box and other portmanteaux & receptacles — a dreary business. Rabold came round at 12, we settled up at Hotel and went round to the station where we said good bye to Rabold and caught the 1 train for Boston. Got in a bad draught which started my hay fever and I arrived sneezing with a painful & inflamed nose at Boston at 7 p.m. Mrs Storrows met us and took us to our hotel — the Somerset on Commonwealth Avenue. Nice rooms but very noisy. We dined at hotel and went to bed early I still sneezing and feeling very uncomfortable. Had a very disturbed night owing to the noise of trains & cars. Curious that the 3 chief hotels here, Lennox, Copley Place and this one are all close to the main line. But then Americans are used to noise — think of their conversational voices! — so probably are quite indifferent!Location
