Wednesday June 19th Twenty fours hours have passed since I left Monroe, where men never were treated better. the folks turned out enmasse to bid us farewell, I shook hands with more than forty, and how many I kissed I shant say, but the girls of Monroe are generous, they treated me well, and Mises Hurlburt, Halsted, Barnes, Lockwood, and a host of others, I shall always think of with the greatest respect. We left Monroe at 8 o'clock and arrived at 9 at Brodhead. I did not see Mother I was sorry, I saw Father and Annie, Stephens. I saw mother coming towards me when the cars started, but I had to get aboard. We arrived at Fon du Lac.
