Transcription Notes
A quiet morning with no classes to take — which was very restful and nice. I made out a list of books for the Librarian as I had promised wrote a long screed to Mrs Storrows and a birthday letter to little Susannah — this last rather overdue. Looked through papers etc and got things into order as well I could. Can’t get our reservations properly fixed up. What a trial travelling in this country is. It takes 2 or 3 days to arrange a journey! Went up to the University in the afternoon to take the final rehearsal at the Auditorium. Things did not go very well, mainly because of the lack of air in the Hall, but it was a very useful rehearsal. We then dined with Miss Freer and her room-mate Miss Wheeler — a very nice and quiet little dinner, and then — thoroughly tired out — went to [....?] the students C[ountry] D[ance] Party — very poorly attended. On arrival home found a cryptic telegram from Chicago people about our reservations which involved a long visit to the Station and a lengthy telegram to Chicago. It looks as though we may be unable to get a train on Sunday at all!Location
