We got to Cincinnati about half past eight and after
a little breakfast went up town to get tickets fixed.
We left Chillicothe about noon and arrived there at
nearly four oclock. Mary met us at the depot and we
were soon out to her house away from the heat, dust, and
noise. A bath and clean clothes followed by a good supper.
made us feel very much better. We went to bed early.
