Transcription Notes
Weather hotter than ever. Mrs Storrows motored Maud and me into Boston to catch the train. We talked a good deal on the way about my plans for the Autumn and she promised her help. She will always stand by me generally but her interest in folk-dancing is subordinate now to her interest in girl scouting! Even she is bitten with the American craze for change. No one in this country seems capable of sticking to one job for more than a month or two. The journey to N[ew] York was a terrible business owing to the intense heat and we arrived at 4 p.m. to find the city even hotter than the train! How we got through the evening I hardly know. I dined with Payne and Dr Esquene[?] of Pittsburgh at Mangin’s[?] restaurant and then came back to the hotel to entertain the Gilmans. We all had fruit lemonades in the vain attempt to get cool or to assuage our thirsts! They went at 10.30 and we retired to our rooms with a very hot night in prospect thermometer then 92 having been 98 when we first reached N[ew] York.Location
