Transcription Notes
Rained more or less all night and to day we are evidently enveloped in a rain-cloud. Wrote letters in the morning to Constance, Mr Glenn, Gray, Mr Graves (sending him ballet of the Keeper) and then wrote up my tune book. So cold we were glad of the fire which they lit in the hall and we toasted ourselves before it with great eagerness. Lunched at 3 — punctuality is unknown in these parts — and directly after Maud and I started to wade through the rain and mud under our mackintoshes to Ebe Richards’s. It was a dreadful walk, that red Virginia mud being the worst of its kind I have ever struck. He sang us several nice songs including a good version of Edward and at about 6.30 we started for home arriving in a pretty bad state. Changed everything of course and put trousers & boots before the fire to dry. Sat over the fire after supper and then shivered in bed unable to get warm for a long while. We had intended to go on to Endicott tomorrow but that is now out of the question. Decide, if we can get away at all to go back to Rockymount but I am afraid we may be stuck here for some time unable to move out of the house.Location
