Transcription Notes
Wagon of course late so I go out to say good bye to young Lewis and to Asher at the Court House. We start at 7.15 Mr Lewis lending us some wraps — for it is very cold — and a bolster to put on the seat. The road proves to be a much better one than the Hazard route and our mules are strong and well driven by Begley. We get 3 parts of our journey in good time, then rest the horses and eat our lunch and then walk very slowly over a mountain and partly down the other side, riding the rest of the way to Krypton — a very rough piece — where we arrive at 2 p.m. Get some hot water at hotel and make ourselves some tea, catch train at 3.30 and reach Jackson at 5. Install ourselves in fairly comfortable rooms, have a nice dinner with some real milk and coffee that tastes of coffee, a warm bath and go to bed at 7.45.Location
