Transcription Notes
Slept indifferently and woke early owing to the flies! Feeding very indifferent — quite the worst biscuits I have ever tasted. Maud gets violent indigestion as the day goes on but I manage to stand the food though I don’t like it! The family all go off in the morning to a large Baptist Communion meeting about 3 miles off leaving us in command of the house. We sit in the upper verandah and I write up my books and letters to Constance, Campbell, Meyrowitz etc. Maud makes me some spaghetti and this with marmalade forms a fairly satisfactory lunch. The Weavers return about 4.30 and we manage to get a few songs from Mrs Weaver. I walk round to the store with Weaver to post my letters. They tell us their sister is coming to stay with them tomorrow so that they cannot keep us any longer. We decide to move on to Stuart tomorrow and arrange with Weaver to motor us in his car. Shall be glad to get away as this is too far from the mountains for songs and we are evidently not going to be comfortable here.Location
