After six this morning we was travel
travel and train is held up. We got to Rich-
mmd at 10:30 instead of 8:15 A.M. Mr
Billamstry Tracy.
Visited once again the Capitol building
of Virginias other or much history was
made. There is sculpture of Genl Washington
about 3x size by Houdon of France. Close
by is a bust of Thomas Jefferson by the same
artist, and it's quite different from the sculp-
ture full length by Valentine at the
Jefferson Hotel.
Put up at the Jefferson Hotel, the grand-
est hotel in all of my experience. Openers
to marble pillars are all imitation -
painted marble. This hotel was built many
years ago by a citizen of Richmond be-
a citizen. He came, had no good hotel. He put in his money
expecting it to help the city. His now run by the
Hotel company have aside hotel at Baltimore
and another at Norfolk.
