Transcription Notes
A pouring wet day following a very rainy & stormy & cold night. It looked impossible for us to move on to Reba as we had intended to do but after waiting till lunch time the clouds cleared a bit and we decided to risk it & start off after lunch, a coloured man undertaking to drive over with our suit cases. So after lunch we settled up said good bye to the Wares — Mrs Ware had been a very good hostess to us — and the other guests and, clad in mackintoshes set out fearing the worst. But as a matter of fact it ceased raining & we had a dry walk of 6 miles to Reba where we persuaded Mrs Jens Falls to put us up. After making ourselves some tea we walked down in the direction of Taylor’s Mountain to survey the land. Had a pleasant dinner with Mr and Mrs Falls, 2 daughters a friend whose name I did not catch and another boarder an old lady, Mrs Casly. In the evening several people came round on the porch. We sang some songs, some played cards and the Victrola made a general musical background.Location
