Transcription Notes
Arrived Cincinnati at 8.15 & then went to Gibson Hotel to breakfast & meet Miss Young. The latter could only give us a little more than half an hour alas. Caught train at noon for Chicago (Big Four) where we arrived at 8 at 53rd St[reet] & went to Elms Hotel where we engaged rooms. Made friends with an exceedingly nice man, Donald Fraser of Fowler, a place a few miles from Chicago. On arrival found 3 telegrams from Constance giving bad news about poor Charlie. As much depended upon the order in which the telegrams left London tried to find this out from local office. They were too stupid so went into Chicago to main office & got some information but not much. Wired Constance and Algonquin saying I was at Elms Hotel.Location
