Transcription Notes
After reading the welcome news from France after breakfast took the train into Boston and did a lot of shopping. Bought a hand bag for provisions in the mountains, tea, raisins etc, tobacco, pipes, asthma powder, photo films, ink etc and had my eyeglasses mended! Lunched here and after a rest went to Camp to hold a Morris class with Mrs Gibbs & the Misses Bowles, Christiansen, Edgerley, Chapin, Coit. We did London Pride, Molly Oxford and Bonnets so blue, greatly to our satisfaction and spent a most enjoyable couple of hours. These few have really got hold of the English dances but alas! they represent nearly all the real converts I have made in America. Louise Chapin drove us back in Miss Edgerley’s motor and we dined quietly at the hotel. I wrote a lot of letters in the afternoon, Douglas Smith, de Croze[?], Campbell, Miss Rutherford, Mrs Corbett, Miss Lamkin & Farnsworth! Got letters from Joan and Constance this morning, the former telling me of the prize she has won in the A.G.[?] competition.Location
