106 Oct 25. Left 10.40 A.M. Peckham drives me in his car. Light snow and cold. Arrive [[underline]] Buffalo [[\underline]] 12.40: Then [[underline]] Handy [[\underline]] and [[underline]] two young Germans [[\underline]] took me to the splendid [[underline]] Sadtler hotel. [[\underline]] New and well managed. Excellent music. Good room till tonight. Light snow storm. Before lecture an informal supper - [[underline]] Many Niagara men here, [[\underline]] mostly [[underline]] of R & H also Hooker. [[\underline]] A rather boresome affair on account of absurdity of hiring a professional piano player to "entertain" us during the dinner. Mere banging and noise. Lecture at the [[underline]] University [[\underline]] about [[underline]] 300 present. [[\underline]] Very [[underline]] attentive [[\underline]] audience. Then at 10 P.M rushed off to my night train. Enfin - [[underline]] it's all over and I feel happy for it and for the interest it has evoked in me. [[\underline]] I can now go back [[end page]] [[start page]] 107 for a few days to my usual work and then with the 3 last lectures in Rochester Schenectady and Syracuse finish this job. I secured a drawing room so as to rest well for a hard days work in New York. Total cost $45.00 Nov 25. Back at office. Feel well and fresh. A full days uninterrupted work. Home with 5.33 P.M. Everybody well. Good night's rest. Nov. 27 (Thanksgiving) All day much at work reading and writing. [[underline]] Little Dicky has grown considerably [[\underline]] and [[underline]] looks strong, healthy [[\underline]] and [[underline]] cheerful. [[\underline]] Very different from that emaciated child she was after returning from France and Tunis. George [[underline]] Roll, Nina, George B. [[\underline]] and [[underline]] Cornelia [[\underline]] all here for Thanksgiving dinner
