Transcription Notes
Finished packing after breakfast, settled up at the hotel and then caught the 10 train for Richmond. The train was fairly punctual, the journey hot with a change at Ravenna. It was nice passing through our old hunting grounds at St Helens and Beattyville, but very sad to see the mountains gradually disappear. The first realization that there was a horizon around one was a curious sensation, and a quite unexpected one. Richmond is a nice place, rather an old look about it, just one main street with some grand old fashioned Georgian residences. Our Hotel — the Glynden — was just passable but had seen better days! In the evening we went to the Movies which just managed and no more to keep my attention — a lime drink at the Drug Store, & to bed. Sent Constance a cable. Don’t hesitate let house. This may help her to make up her old mind!Location
