Transcription Notes
Spent a very quiet morning at home while Maud went to the hospital to see Lily. We lunched at the hotel and then went to the School for classes the same as yesterday. The classes are very unsatisfactory, unpunctual while the students are a particularly clumsy inartistic lot — the kind of girls who would be attracted by the girl scout business. Mrs S[torrow] fumes a good deal and makes my task much more difficult but she will never understand and never alter! Margaret Edgerley and Louise Chapin motored us to the hospital at 6.30 and we dined quietly in Lily’s room and discussed many things. Dick [Conant] has gone to France — she may or may not be going to have a baby — at any rate she must make up some kind of home of her own. We leave about 9 and walk home by the river. The roads & paths were crowded with people because it was a very hot night and scarcely one of them — of those we heard — could speak English — nearly all foreigners speaking their native language or broken English! What a commentary on the centre of New England! Weather very hot and humid, but quite bearable.Location
