Transcription Notes
Called at 3 a.m. No water (except a single pail of it) because water supply in this individualistic community is cut off between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. However, make tea & wash after a fashion and catch 4.10 train, arriving at Middlesboro 4.50. Breakfast (!!) there at 5.30 and catch 6 train for Knoxville arriving at 9, where owing to 8.30 being late we catch a train for Asheville immediately and arrive there at 3 p.m. instead of waiting at Knoxville as we expected to do till 4, and getting to Asheville at 11 p.m. Campbell met us and after looking around take rooms at Grove Park Inn, a very wonderful and crazy sort of place where however we shall get clear & good air and wholesome and well cooked food, and those are what I am after for the moment. Weather piping hot but I stood journey wonderfully — considering.Location
