Tuesday, February 28, 1922

Cool and breezy. Arose 6:15 A.M. Shaved, washed etc. Breakfast on boat. Wrote letters. Went ashore 9 A.M. Ferried to Jersey City. Looked around. To Board of Education etc. Out to Grantwood. Talked with Miss MacCulloch. Back to N.Y. Stayed at Hotel Woodward Room 43 Broadway & 55th. Up to look for H.G.C. Walked around town. To bed 9:30 P.M.

**********
Miss MacCulloch was Margaret H. McCulloch, who was a teacher at Public School IIG in NYC. Stanford must have contacted her because she knew where to find Hazel, whom he refers to as H.G.C.

Hotel Woodward was a pretty fancy hotel. Here is a page from one of their brochures, published around 1907, when the hotel was fairly new:
This ad for the hotel was published in a newspaper in 1920:
Not much had changed in a decade, apparently.

The building is still there, although it is now the Dream Hotel. Below left is a photo featured on the new hotel's website, although in a December 2014 Google street view photo (right) they were apparently doing renovations (see scaffolding).
