Transcription Notes
Went off to School after breakfast but did next to nothing. Indeed I feel very depressed about my harmonizations since I came to Boston and begin to doubt whether I have done anything of any value. Perhaps this is only my mood of the moment. Let’s hope so! After tea — we lunched at the Kensington — worked desultorily at my music and the Berea book, then got ready and met Kittredge at Adams House — he was to be my guest at dinner. On the way I passed by the procession inaugurating the 3rd Liberty loan this being the anniversary of America’s declaration of war. It was rather imposing — 80,000 people marching with simple but sometimes very effective home-made decorations. Had a very interesting talk with Kittredge. We sat at table from 7 to 10.15 jawing all the time. He is a good raconteur and he has had many experiences in America and other counties to relate. He told me a good deal about the inner life at Harvard which I found very interesting and entertaining.Location
