Walked out Fish River Road a short distance and came back with Fernald. A little later Fernald, Doctor Hay, and I crossed over to New Brunswick and botanized a little. Had dinner at twelve and immediately afterwards a party of over twenty left in five teams for Frenchville where we crossed to the New Brunswick side and ate our supper. Afterwards we drove up to next ferry and re-crossed to the Maine side. Reached the Hotel Dickey at about 9.10 P. M. after a very pleasant drive. July 10, 1904, Sunday Cloudy, rainy in the evening.
