Thursday 31st (July)
Change cars at Venice. Next we passed the Yellow Springs, which
is a very pleasant place. We will change cars once more before we arrive at Urbana.
Changed at Springfield it is a pretty little place. We got into the car where we
found little space. Dined at Urbana at a nasty little hotel where I am sure . . . There
we left the cars, and took . . . to Piqua at which place we expect to arrive by 6
o-clock. We had started and such a time jolt, jolt, jolt until positively I thought
we would be jolted to Death. We finally arrived there, dressed, ate supper, and
after tea received a call from Frank McHinney and John Jordan, spent a very pleasant
evening and retired.
