Transcription Notes
Began packing directly after breakfast and then up to University at 10 for last class of teachers. I gave them a long talk about accuracy etc and taught them some new dances. After lunching at Cafeteria returned to Hotel to find we had got 2 reservations on 8.30 a.m. train tomorrow morning for Chicago which necessitates our leaving by 2.40 a.m. train to-night! An awful thought. Go up at 3.30 for tea at Miss Blaisdels and on return fix up trunks send them to station, get tickets, and dress in flannels for the evening Demonstration. After dinner in a regular tornado of wind we go up to the University and give really a good demonstration to a large audience, Bean Setting, Lumps [of Plum Pudding], Oaken Leaves, Hey Boys, Old Mole, Rigs, Boatman, Merry Conceit, Confess Princess Royal and Running Set. Back to Hotel after an ice-cream supper at a University grub-shop given us by Miss Burssell[?]. Taxi’d home and rested as well we could till 2 a.m. when in bitterly cold weather, snowing we walked to the station and after waiting 45 min[utes] caught our train.Location
