Transcription Notes
Letters to Constance, Miss Mackinnon, Miss Daking and Ronald [Sharp]. After breakfast in our rooms had a telephone from Dr Slocum asking me to call on him in the Bush Building on 23rd floor. This I did and he was most cordial having been at my Russell Sage lecture last year. He gave me a letter to Major Bevington whom I ran to earth in the Brit[ish] Consulate Building. He handed me over to Major Grey who seemed to think he could do the trick and get us off by the Adriatic on Dec[ember] 14th. We are to call on him tomorrow morning, get Maud’s passport and a letter from him to the Immigration people. Then we went to Benedicts to look for presents, had tea, and called on Willson of the Columbia Co. A most amusing interview with him about contracts etc and I am to see him again some afternoon next week. We got home thoroughly tired out at about 6 p.m. when we set to work to fill in our forms in triplicate. Afterwards to dinner where we got some putrid salmon, we changing it for macaroni which was ill done — a bad ending to a prosperous day!Location
