December 2nd, 1941
Again here on my way to Lake
land, Florida.
The day is a dark misty one, and a
little above the freezing point. Facing across to P.R.
Left New Haven 9 A.M. ^ Left
the Pullman R.R. in N.Y. at 12:30, when
I entered a Pullman [illegible] all the way
to Lakeland.
My P.R.-Pullman fare this year is
$57.45. This is $7.70 more than last
due to railroad rates.
Securities did it for the benefit of war
and Our Country.
On getting to Washington the skies
are clearing and there is a little sunshine
at the Capitol of Our Country. This is at
4:25 P.M.
The Pullman during the day was
about 1/3 occupied, but at Richmond all
of the (cars appeared) to be taken. Evidently
on the public is going via coach, and
get some in the Pullman or at night.
