Transcription Notes
Determined to try and run Mrs Julie Boone to earth. So we walked to Plum Branch only to find she had gone to Micaville. We went there to find she had gone a mile or so up another creek. We followed her, found her, brought her back to Micaville and got her to sing. She repaid us for the trouble we had spent by singing some really good songs. We left her at 5 p.m. and walked back reaching the Hotel about 7 p.m. pretty well tired out, having tramped altogether about 14 miles over very rough roads. We made an appointment to meet her again tomorrow at noon and mean to take the train to Micaville this time and perhaps to return by it. Before going out I wrote several letters sending out copies of the M[orning] P[ost] article to Mrs Campbell, Mr Glenn, Bradley etc. In the evening Maud tried to teach some dances to the children of the house & some others but found them very difficult to teach & handle. Weather much warmer in the day time but cold night & morning — especially night.Location
