Transcription Notes
After breakfast went out to send telegram to Miss Gilman to send mail to Stuart. Called at P[ost] O[ffice] and arranged with postmaster about our mail and sent off two films (registered) to Meyrowitz. Did some shopping, changed some traveller’s notes at the bank, called on Mr Dick Raikes who is Mr Turner Raikes’s brother — the one who lives in Shooting Creek. Then called on Mrs Roberts and told her all about our week at St Peters. Got our mail which included three important & rather worrying letters. One from Helen [Kennedy] about E.F.D.S. matters, one from Arnold Shaw and the third from Boyd of Pittsburgh concerning Grove’s Dictionary. After tea dictated answers to all three letters and then wrote to Miss Davis, to Gray ordering books to be sent to St Peters and a long letter to Mr Vaughan Williams. After dinner called on Dick Raikes again only to find him out once more. Then packed again — O this interminable packing! — getting supplies from my trunk and finally got to bed fairly late & very tired. Weather still very cold down to 48 morning & evening. But very fine & beautiful while the roads are drying up splendidly.Location
