Transcription Notes
Long letter from Miss de Long and Miss Gilman — the latter mainly about date of the Summer School. As she wants me for first 3 weeks of July I must make a different arrangement with Mrs Storrows so I send the latter a letter. I write at my book all the morning. After tea I set out for my first class at Evanston. I catch the 4.53 suburban — there are no expresses on these Monday holidays! — to Randolph St[reet] and then take the Elevated to Evanston. I stand up all the time — 45 minutes or more — hanging on to a strap deadly cold! Arrive at 6.30 and get some food — fairly good — and then strive for 3 quarters of an hour to find the Hall. No one to ask the way and nothing but narrow tracks between high banks of snow which hide the name[?] to [….?]. I was nearly frozen to death when I at last found the Hall. The return journey was quite as bad and I got back to the hotel 15 minutes before Midnight quite exhausted. I have a horrid cold in my head which does not improve things.Location
