Transcription Notes
All the signs of a thoroughly wet day. Verandah crowded with people who have come out from Bedford for the day so the place is noisier than ever — more like Hampstead Heath on a bank-holiday than anything else. So we retire to our rooms and write letters. I write in the morning and again in the afternoon quite a lot viz to Margaret Andrews (San Francisco), Glenn, The Bank, Peggy Scovill, Miss Gilman, Miss Perrin, Gray, (ordering C[ountry] D[ance] books to be sent to various people) Miss Otis & Dorothy Kennedy — quite a lot and many of them long ones. Have a long rest after lunch. I can always sleep here and I dream more than I have ever dreamed in my life. It rains very hard at intervals and the damp and the cold is rather depressing. The thermometer after breakfast was 64! It was a very cold proceeding sitting on the verandah after dinner and as the piano went on all the evening accompanying the very worst songs that the American mind had ever conceived we were glad when bed-time arrived!Location
