Thursday March 13th 1924
I packed my trunk in the forenoon and
wrote to Joe Woolf. After dinner we went to town and
out to the station to get my Pullman ticket. We went
back after supper for the mail. The Pickens, Mrs Haines,
Mr & Mrs Nutting, Mr [Kimhol?] & Mr Thomas here in evening.
Friday March 14th 1924
I finished my packing and wrote Maurice Briggs.
We had early dinner and Mrs Falk took me to the
station. The train had changed time so did not get away
till 3.30. When I reached Jacksonville I went directly to
The Flagler Hotel. Had supper, wrote some and went to bed.
Saturday March 15th 1924
Had a good nights rest and breakfast and left at
8.45 for Washington. The day passed comfortably. The
car was not crowded and very quiet. Had two good meals.
The scenery typically southern. went to bed early.
Sunday March 16th 1924
I arrived at Washington on time and went to
directly to The Hotel Raleigh. Very soon Walter called
up and came for me later. I spent the day with
them. I listened in on The Radio for the first time.
Walter brought me home at 9 oclock. I like this hotel.
Monday March 17th 1924
I went to the depot in AM to get my Pullman ticket.
Walter came to take me to his office. Ruby came there. They
had lunch with me. I wrote Warner McCall, took a ride
around the city. Had supper with Walter & Ruby. a fine day.
