Transcription Notes
Arrive Minneapolis up to time — 7.55 and Miss Boutelle meets me. I recognize her when I see her as the lady we once had to tea at Adelaide Road! We taxi to her house — a very nice one — and I have breakfast with her. Then retire to have a bath, shave and clean myself up. Afterwards we go out for a walk and a talk. Weather still delightfully warm even here where a few days ago it was 40 below zero! Lunch at 1 and meet others of the household and at 3 go down to Woman’s Club, where I give my Appalachian talk winding up with a long account of Pine Mountain and a plea for financial help. Rather a stupid audience but I think my appeal may bear some fruit. Then to Mr Woodward’s studio, a musician who sang to us. I meet Mr and Mrs Young Hunter these English artists making money I fancy portrait painting like Harris Brown. He is the son of Colin Hunter the artist and knows the Fords and other of my Kensington friends. 1 In the evening at Miss B[outelle]’s meet a Mr Greville at dinner and afterward Mr & Mrs Purcell whom I take to rather readily. He is a young architect of parts and we had a very pleasant chat together. To bed, very tired.Location
