Transcription Notes
Breakfast at 6 as the Mail Hack started at 6.30! Miss Stone, Miss Huntington, Miss Cobb and the ever faithful Miss Watts were all up to give us our breakfast and speed us on our way. The journey was very trying and we did not reach Hazard till 5 p.m. — 11 hours, very nearly, over the 20 miles! We arrived sore and shaken after many bumps & rollings. At one time we had 7 people in the wagon, the driver and his cook on the front seat, Maud I and another female on the second seat, and two men standing up on the mail bags behind. Very glad to get back to the quiet of the Beaumont Hotel. Maud rather seedy but I am feeling a bit better, though my cough is still very troublesome! Saw the doctor who says my back is all right. Charged me 2 dollars quite moderate for America!Location
