Transcription Notes
Spent a quiet morning at home, packing, writing letters, reading etc. At 1 o’clock Miss Edgerley and Louise Chapin came to lunch with us. The weather was hot but we got a fairly cool table and had rather a nice little reunion. At 3 Maud went off in their motor to Lincoln. I finished off my packing, read, rested and at 5.15 went downstairs to pay my bill. The accountant first presented me with a bill (not itemised) for 63 dollars which I paid by cheque. Then 10 minutes later with many apologies another for 75 which I again paid by cheque, cancelling the former one. Finally 20 minutes later with some apologies offered me a third one for 103 dollars which I treated the same way cancelling No.2. Happily Mrs Storrows then turned up & whisked me off to Lincoln or I might have been ruined! Dined at Lincoln had a nice chat with Mrs Storrows afterwards. We all went to our very comfortable beds at 10.30. Weather getting very hot indeed. Am afraid we are in for a hot spell.Location
