Transcription Notes
Harmonized all the morning and finished Cruel Mother having done a different setting to each one of the nine verses — rather a feat in its way! Maud still hammering away at Detroit letters. We went out at 12.15 for a constitutional and I took a few photographs, but the weather was so terribly cold we couldn’t stand it for more than a half hour. So we returned and got warm in the dining room eating our lunch! After a rest I began on the Hindman tune to the Two Sisters and went on to dinner time. In the evening I dictated a couple of letters to Detroit and then wrote several myself, to Peggy [Scovill], Miss de Long sending her MSS of my R[unning] S[et] Introduction, Glenn — in reply to his criticism of said Introduction — and 3 or four unimportant business letters. Our correspondence is getting very large and would occupy most of my time were I alone without Maud’s help. The weather gets colder each day, but the weather man says we reach the worst of it to-night. I shall put all my clothes on my bed including my fur-coat!Location
