Transcription Notes
Arrived Chicago at 7.30 a.m. Got breakfast at the station — Maud not being well eat but little — then got shaved — I not Maud — and caught 8.45 train for Champaign whither we arrived at 11.50 — "on time" for a marvel! Miss Freer and Miss Marin[?] met us. Had a great business getting decent rooms at the Inman Hotel as although Miss Freer had engaged rooms for us they had forgotten all about it! Maud went to bed at once after having some soup — not because of it — and I rested, had tea and then went up to reception at Miss Freer’s meeting Miss Brooks, Mr Cole, Miss Blaisdel, the Langdons and others. Back to Hotel. Maud dined in bed, I solus. Afterwards attacked manageress who owned the mistake was hers’ but airily remarked as usual "mistakes will occur" and from whom I got a better room for Maud on same floor as mine. By means of a judicious dollar tip got her things moved and herself also into her new quarters. Sent off my cheques to the bank and then to bed. Weather beautifully fine and quite warm and spring-like.Location
