Transcription Notes
Feeling rather chippy after my disturbed night had breakfast at 9. Our trunks were then brought up to our rooms and we unpacked our things & then went out at 12.30 to lunch and afterwards to the Board of Commerce where we took our first class of the Recreation people — a good lot of about 40 men & women. Back home for a short rest and a hurried tea and then to same room for the first class of the Education people under Miss Perrin. Nearly all women but quite good — no aesthetic movements thank Heaven! Back to dress in full fig & get slides ready, have dinner and then at 8 Miss Dyar called and motored us to hall for lecture. Smallish audience in large room. Lantern out of order so dispensed with slides. Talked for an hour or more and Maud did P[rincess] Royal & Lumps [of Plum Pudding] and she, I, Mr Ashe & Miss Bock did Rufty and Hey boys. It was rather a successful affair. Glad to get home. Weather warm but several very heavy showers in the day. Getting cold again in the evening.Location
