Transcription Notes
After breakfast play some of my recent accompaniments to Miss B[outelle] who admires Barbara Allen exceedingly. Then we go down and call at the Bellman office where I first meet Mr Bellow a young and rather nice University man and then Mr Edgar the proprietor. Take to the latter very readily more especially when he said that American opinion as to Northcliffe coincide with mine viz that he was a bounder!1 After a trolley ride round the town back to lunch. Pack and have a rest and then repair to the Girls’ Scout meeting which I address at 4. Rather a nice as well as large audience on dancing — I didn’t know how much they understand of it! After the lecture we motor to the Edgar’s private house where I meet Mrs Edgar — quite as nice as her husband, Young Hunter and others — sing one or two songs and play a little to them. Back to the Boutelle’s to dinner and thence to the station where I catch the 7.55 for Chicago. Find Purcell is a passenger though I do not meet him until the morrow. Glad to turn in even to a railway bed, I am so dead tired.Location
