Transcription Notes
Very tired when I wake up after a ridiculously warm night. A real muggy rainy day such as we frequently have in London in February. The mountains of snow have all but disappeared. Maud went off early to Hull House. I tried to work but couldn’t manage much so wrote two long letters, one to V[aughan] W[illiams] the other to Helen [Kennedy], the latter largely business. After tea I went round to Tolman who lent me Kittredge’s ballad article in the Folk Lore Journal — a very good and useful one, though most of the material rather poor. After dinner I dictate a long letter to Kittredge suggesting a publication scheme. Weather getting colder again and weather man says we shall have 22 degrees of frost to-night. Quite likely. This is a land of extremes.Location
