TranscriptBill Ferris called from Stanford; wants me to take downriver cruise on Delta Queen next April – benefit of his Center for Southern Culture. Leave Memphis 12 Apr; New Orleans on 19th. Two or three “lectures” en route at Greenville & Vicksburg & possibly Natchez; stateroom for two, all expenses paid, plus $1000 honorarium. I’d told him I’d do it.
Walked two short miles in 3 ½ mins.; played Dvořák Austrian Qt & String Quintet. Wore shorts & tee shirt for first time this year. |
