Transcription Notes
Worked steadily and without interruption at my proofs right up to 1 o’clock when Rabold came to lunch here. He came up to my room afterwards and I read him the Hobbs letter of which he approved. After tea the C[ountry] D[ance] book proofs came in from Gray. The originals were sent to the Pontchartrain Hotel Detroit and have not been seen since and these are thoroughly badly done! So I am in the soup with them. Wrote Constance a long letter and inclosed a cheque from Maud to pay Stenison & Harman. After tea went at proofs and finished first reading of them. Wrote to Bank & Mr Scott and finished Constance’s letter & posted it. Began looking through proofs of C[ountry] D[ance] book which Gray has just sent — omitting to send me my original corrected ones. A great business. Knickerbocker Press (i.e. Putnam’s) the worst printer in the world I imagine. Dined downstairs and worked all the evening at proofs. Felt very seedy and depressed about things in general, partly the weather, partly my own health, but mainly reading the newspapers which give no comfort anywhere at present. Cold and a gale of wind — very unpleasant still.Location
