Transcription Notes
Trunks came late last night, so after breakfast we both did some unpacking, letter writing etc. Telephoned Kittredge and Mrs Coolidge, who asked us to sup with us tomorrow to which we provisionally agreed. Mrs Storrows phoned at 12 and said she would call on us at 2.30. We lunched at a cheap and nasty place. Mrs S came up and viewed our rooms and then motored us round to the Museum to see Wilson’s portrait by Sargeant — a very poor performance. She went off and left us there while we remained to see the pictures which are a very fine collection. I left cards on Carrington and Coomaraswamy. We looked in at Hennenway Hotel and found we could get passable rooms for two dollars, but none vacant at the moment. Weather very cold indeed and I found walking back very uncomfortable because of my old toe and the weather. War news very depressing. I couldn’t sleep because of thinking about it.1 Dined at hotel and went to bed rather early.Location
