Friday August 27th 1909 Scott got up and made coffee so I had breakfast before the cob came for me. I was a little late leaving Centralia but got to Seattle in time for my train I left there at 9.00 oclock. a lady from N. S state shared the section with me. Our days travel was through most beautiful mountains scenery. Saturday August 28th 1909 I did not have a very good night in my upper berth. When we awoke in the morning we were in Montana and there was a white frost. There is a very pleasant company in the car. When night came on we were east of Billings Montana. Sunday August 29th 1909 I slept better and we had rather a pleasant days ride through the fine country of North Dakota and Minnesota It was very refreshing after some of the country we had seen we reached St Paul after eleven oclock behind time. Monday August 30th 1909 I just rested what I could in the depot. And left there after nine oclock for home. It was a slow train and I got very tired I took the [illegible] at Cedar Rapids reaching home at 8.12. Will had gone in town to meet me but soon came home and after a little visit we went to bed.
