Transcription Notes
Weather very much colder with snow predicted. Go up to University at 9.30 and teach staff for 2 hours. Then lunch with Miss Freer and Miss Kingsley at the Caffeteria — quite a nice repast. Back to hotel and rest, writing long letter to Constance. Maud goes back to take a Morris Class at 3, I follow her half an hour later to see her class and give the training students a talk on dance-technique. I talk for the best part of an hour on naturalness in dancing the folly of turning out the feet, swathing the body in corsets and the feet in pointed, high-heeled shoes etc. Back to hotel in bitter cold weather to dress for dinner. Then to University to lecture on and sing Appalachian songs — Edward, Sinnerman, Wether Skins, Farmer’s Curst Wife and Riddle Song — and show slides. Get home about 10 p.m., chicken sandwiches and lemonade and so to bed. Weather continues bitterly cold and I shall be lucky if I weather this cold spell without mishap. Glad to feel that half this week’s work is accomplished.Location
