Transcription Notes
We determine to make one more shot so take our lunch and go off to Taylor’s Mountain. We meet Mrs Donald who has not yet been to see us but promises to come round to day! We call at a cabin about a mile away — another Mrs Grey — but get very little; then again at Mr Woolridge’s but are unable to prevail upon him to sing. We walk a long way but soon see that this is the wrong side of the mountain as there are very few houses. So after eating our lunch and resting under a tree in the vain endeavour to get shade & cool we tramp back arriving at the hotel at 3, very hot and thoroughly worn out. After some tea rest in very hot rooms and there write a little and prepare for supper. In the evening the weather gets hotter than ever and we get no air to breathe on the porch before going to bed. Mrs Donald turns up but only for a few minutes and didn’t sing. We are evidently in for a very hot night.Location
