Transcription Notes
Weather still very hot. Arrived at Knoxville at 2, texi’d over to the L & N Station & checked our luggage & got tickets for the train leaving 4.34. Tried to get lunch at the Atkin Hotel but the dining room was closed! So we had a very dirty & indifferent meal at a second rate restaurant. We bought some cheese etc at a provision shop for the journey. Very hot still & train very primitive. No parlour cars! Very crowded & very slow. When at last we reached Copper Hill, about 10 p.m., Maud’s suit case was missing — we fear stolen!! The rooms at the Blue Goose where we stayed were just execrable. However, we made the best of it as there was nothing else to do.Location
