Transcription Notes
A frost last night! Very cold N East wind to day with clear sky and hot sun. Went to school to harmonize as usual directly after breakfast till 11.30 when we had a practice for Monday’s party — two morris dances, Brighton Camp and Cuckoo’s Nest (Sherborne) with Maud, Lilly Mrs Gibbs, Miss Bolles, Miss Edgerley & Miss Chapin. Maud Lily and I lunched at Hennenway Hotel — a very nasty meal — so we were glad we didn’t go there. Then I returned, rested, had tea and then wrote out tunes for the Berea book and worked at William Hall which I started harmonizing this morning. I have now started 11 and more or less finished nine in first state. Some are rather nice but some are weak and may have to be rejected. We dined here at the hotel and then went on with the Berea book in the evening. We shall find it a little difficult to get it done in time i.e. before Monday when I have undertaken to take my books up to Harvard. Miss Hibberd telephoned this morning and I am to go to Wellesley on Tuesday by the 3 train, see Physical School in the afternoon and lecture on ballads in the evening — my only engagement here this trip.Location
