Transcription Notes
Finished packing and sent trunk off at 8 a.m. Wrote some letters after breakfast then walked in to Boston to call on Fisher of Ditsons. Afterwards tried, but failed to get any good map of the Mountain song district. We lunched at 12.45 and then caught 2 train for Urbana, Lily & Mrs Storrow seeing us off at the station or depot! The great train strike was brewing and timed to begin that night so it was very doubtful how far on our journey we should go. We lost a lot of time on the way to Albany where we were turned out of our carriage and had to change to another train because the switchdrivers refused to work. Didn’t get dinner till nearly 9 p.m. Maud nearly lost her suit case again but it eventually turned up.Location
