Transcription Notes
Last night was the record! I had a little sleep but not much and feel pretty chippy when I get up. Then I nearly hurt myself very badly with the falling lid of my trunk — as I did at Washington. This time it scraped the bridge of my nose smashed my pince-nez but escaped[?] hurting me. But it was a shock. This left me without glasses so I had to go out and get the spectacles leaving the pince nez to be fitted. Then dictated letters to Novello — sending proofs of Title page etc & M.S. of Preface — Gray, Winthrop Rogers & Kleeberger. Glad to get these done. Write a long letter to Lily sending her Batchelor’s letter etc. After tea go out get my glasses, buy presents for the Rhody Grey children, Knife for Carl, pencils of Lilian, Doll for Vicey[?] & rattle for Helen! Finish up shopping & prepare to move on tomorrow to Crockett Springs if we can get rooms there.Location
