Transcription Notes
Maud went off to the Physical Training College early. I got up later and did some more tunes for the book and pottered about my work generally. I feel better but still very groggy and soon get tired and ready to lie down. The weather is not so cold as it was. I fancy I shall not get well until I can get out and get some air. Mr & Mrs Collein come to dinner and spend the evening in our rooms afterwards. I like her immensely. She is a New England woman and there is no doubt but that Americans who come from that part of the country have far more cultivation on the average than others. It is clear to me that but for the influx of immigrants during the last 20 or 25 years the New Englanders would have achieved a real and distinct culture all their own. Now of course it is more or less overlaid because the eastern part of the state is just that part where the largest number of the immigrants is to be found. There are far more foreigners than natives in Boston.Location
