Transcription Notes
Up early again to be at Liggett School at 9. We had the young children for nearly an hour, singing to them and teaching them singing games. Miss Dyar asked us to lunch to meet May Mukle[?] which we did. It was rather a nice meeting and we arranged with Miss M. to meet her in N[ew] York on our return in 10 days time. In the afternoon take 3rd class of the Educational people who are a really good lot. In the morning I lectured at the Ingleward Club to a very large audience — room packed. I talked for 45 minutes then sang several songs and afterwards showed slides. Mr Shippen, Unitarian parson & his wife talked to us afterwards, amongst many others. The lecture was, I think, quite successful. Had great difficulty in getting milk on our return to the hotel — took us over an hour constantly telephoning to pull it off. This hotel is comfortable enough but not over well managed — radiators, bath, taps etc all more or less out of order and attendance very erratic.Location
