Transcription Notes
Breakfast at 8 and then left for Boston with Mrs S[torrow] at 9. On arriving and settling in worked at Mountain book, arranged MS and made list of songs ballads etc. New book will contain 350 tunes — about same length as first one. Kittredge telephoned and asked me to dine with him at 7 p.m. at Adams House. Met Mrs Coolidge at the Mary Elizabeth and we had lunch there and a long talk afterward. Then Maud went shopping while I went to Ditson’s and sent off a copy of my folk song book to David Neames[?]. After tea we finished off our list with statistics and then went off to dinner. K[ittredge] alas! had failed to get Harvard authorities to take on the publication of my book — another disappointment but not unexpected — I am getting used to this sort of thing. I had a very nice evening. We sat at the table from 7 to 10 when K walked home with me. I like him very much indeed — he is a scholar and a gentleman!Location
