Transcription Notes

Arrived at Charlottesville 2 h[ou]rs late at 9.30 and repaired to the Gleason Hotel. This hostelry is run on the "American Plan" which means that it is a sort of glorified Boarding House with meals only at stated times. So we had to go back to the Station for a very indifferent breakfast, it being after 9 a.m. Called on Prof[essor] Alphonso Smith at tea time and found him a very nice, courteous & friendly man. He telephoned to a Mr McManaway, a School Inspector to call on us at the Hotel tomorrow morning.1
