Transcription Notes
A more eventful day than I have had for a long while. To begin with I got a large batch of letters from England including three from Constance dated Dec[ember] 18, 25 & 31, one from Fox Strangways Mr Oppe, V[aughan] W[illiams] — bless him — Evie, Joan, Dor[othea] Novello’s etc. When I shall be able to answer them I don’t know including a long semi business letter from Miss Gilman. Pegged away at the book in the morning. Maud collapsed in the afternoon with a cold or throat or something & went to bed. I took her temp[erature] at 3.30 and finding it 102.4 sent for a pompous owlish doctor of the name of Harpole. He says she has a septic patch in her nose which is more than enough to account for her feeling so bad. I don’t know what I shall do if she knocks up as I have so many classes & things going on. In the evening I went down to the Community Club to dine with W. L. Blatchford. Spent rather a nice though quiet evening with him, but this being one of the enforced holidays the train journey to & fro was rather trying. Still very cold though not quite so extremely so as it has been latterly.Location
